Setup Windows 11 PPTP With VPNUK

How to Set Up PPTP VPN on Windows 11 with VPNUK

This guide will walk you through manually setting up a PPTP VPN connection on Windows 11 using VPNUK’s secure VPN service. PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) is one of the easiest VPN protocols to set up, providing fast speeds, but it is less secure than modern alternatives like OpenVPN, WireGuard, or IKEv2.

If security is a priority, we recommend using WireGuard, OpenVPN, or IKEv2 instead. However, PPTP can still be useful for legacy devices and networks that require it.
