  • Swift,

    you can always login from any IP, but
    the user has to provide his STRONG password
    and Username.

    There is no need to enable ANY access to your
    private network if you want to share e.g. only email!

    If you assign ip addresses statically you are able to define
    user based rules!

  • Thanks for your reply.
    Ok, if I can log in from any IP, then all depends on the choosen password.
    Can the PPTP-password be longer that 8 chars?

  • Hi swiff, 

    yes passwords up to 14 characters are supporeted.

    Using pptp the encryption strength is based on the length of the password.

    longer password -> stronger encryption

    an 8 character password can be brute forced withing 2-3 weeks with a regular desktop processor.
