PPTP and L2TP Service for iPad, iPhone and Android phone and tablet devices
| PPTP and L2TP service is included with your Personal VPN subscription and setup instructions are included in the welcome email we send you after we set up your account. |
PPTP and L2TP VPN connectivity is offered as an operating system option on many devices. Windows and Mac offer it as part of their operating systems. Additionally, most high-end cell phones and mobile devices, such as the iPhone and Android based phones offer this type of connectivity in their operating system. Apple and Android based tablets also offer PPTP and L2TP built in to the device.
SurfBouncer Personal VPN is based upon the highly secure OpenVPN software and is a superior way to accomplish a secure and reliable VPN. The only time you would need PPTP or L2TP on a computer is when you do not have admin rights to install the OpenVPN software. Because PPTP and L2TP are included with all Windows and Mac systems, it provides a better-than-nothing option.
Many mobile devices, however, do not have an OpenVPN client available. Which leaves PPTP or L2TP as the only option.
PPTP/L2TP servers are available in the US, UK, Hong Kong, Germany, Canada and The Netherlands
*Please allow 12-18 hours for us to receive your email request, configure your account and then get back to you on setting up the PPTP service.
PPTP and L2TP stand alone service - Don't use a PC? If you only use your tablet or smart phone, then the L2TP/PPTP stand alone service is for you.
