Routers

These routers appear to support the PPTP protocol so that one or more PPTP clients can connect through them. You may need to configure your router to pass PPTP, or turn off it's NAT (Network Address Translation) to permit use of DigiTunnel. Many routers not listed may support PPTP. See notes below and your router's documentation.

Router Type Compatible? Notes
Airport Base Station Wireless Not with NAT on, but check update. May work with new software. Check Apple for updates.

Workaround: turn off NAT.
