Rule version SRG-NET-000132-VPN-000470 · STIG v3 · 2026-05-23

Discussion

The PPTP and L2F are obsolete method for implementing virtual private networks. Both protocols may be easy to use and readily available, but they have many well-known security issues and exploits. Encryption and authentication are both weak.

Check

Verify the VPN Gateway is configured to prohibit PPTP and L2F.

If the VPN Gateway does not be configured to prohibit PPTP and L2F, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the VPN Gateway to prohibit PPTP and L2F.
