FAQ

Usually no. PPTP is available in the built-in Android VPN settings on many devices.

The most common causes are expired accounts, incorrect username or password, or a network that blocks PPTP traffic.

PPTP is easy to set up, but it is generally less secure than modern protocols such as OpenVPN or WireGuard.
