Any one recommend a VPN (Like BTGuard) that uses PPTP

Hi guys,

I was just about to buy bt guard as they do PPTP (not as secure as a VPN but it means that I can set the PPTP settings in my router and there fore all my traffic would go out via it) VPN's are more secure, how ever I've just read some horror stories ref: btguard, lack of support etc.

Our Review: We tested the VPN service (not the proxy service) and it’s a basic, no frills affair. Set-up is easy and BTGuard works via the standard OpenVPN GUI. However, we found connecting via PPTP instead slightly increased the server speeds. We also found the Canada server very overloaded and slow at times and experienced more consistent results connecting via the EU server.


If only occasional/light P2P file sharing is your thing the EU server should work ok. However, if you are looking for more, you may find the limited server network restricting (For example, it’s no good for US or UK online TV network streaming)

same as the majority. awful speed and non-existent support. luckily i just paid for 1 month to try it.

Looks like I might have found a candiate..

Customers looking to have their local network on one single VPN account can load their PPTP account on a router that supports DD-WRT.

This free firmware upgrade allows you to take a single VPN account and connect it through the local router interface.

This will allow your local network to share a single VPN connection. Unfortunately DD-WRT does not always work well on routers with PPTP accounts.

The developers of DD-WRT are making improvements every month though, and it should be noted that there are customers that have PPTP accounts on DD-WRT routers with no problems. Your mileage may vary!
If you must have router with PPTP, you can also try the popular Tomato firmware.
