PPTP is a network protocol used in the implementation of Virtual Private Networks (VPN). The links between nodes of a virtual private network are formed over logical connections or virtual circuits between hosts of the larger network. PPTP VPN uses TCP port 1723 . Port 1723 is a standard well-know port used by Microsoft PPTP VPN clients/servers, hence it is unlikely that this port is blocked by wire-line ISPs. PPTP technology extends the Point to Point Protocol (PPP) standard for traditional dial-up networking. PPTP operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model.
