Configuring a Dial-Up VPN Connection
You can use a dial-up Internet connection to establish your VPN connection. You can create a Remote
Access VPN connection policy using the Make New Connection wizard or use an existing VPN
connection policy, and then configure the VPN connection policy to use a Microsoft Dial-Up Networking
phone book entry or a third-party dial-up application. You can also use a dial-up connection as an
automatic backup for your VPN connection in the event your broadband Internet connection is disabled.
Alert! Make sure you create your dial-up connection profile using Microsoft Dial-up Networking or your
third-party dial-up application before configuring your dial-up VPN connection policy.
