How to improve PPTP speed?

Question

I want to supply PPTP(vpn) service to users, and I plan to supply one server for 30 users and give at

lease 10M bandwidth per user. Of course， my server has enough bandwidth. I want to ask is my plan

possible and how to improve performance of PPTP server as far as possible？thanks!

Sorry, you say "my server has enough bandwidth", but you also say 30 users at 10M per user. I'll assume you mean simultaneous users and 10Mb/s (megabits per second, as opposed to MB/s, megabytes per second).

That's 300 megabits per second you require. Can you confirm that your PPTP server is on an internet pipe of gigabit speed?

PPTP creates a tunnel and encapsulates PPP packets. So, communication speed can be improved by enabling PPP compression on both sides. However, this is primarily useful when you have:

1- A powerful server that can handle the compression overhead

2- Low-speed links on the users side that can benefit from the compression.

Another possibility is to optimize the protocol parameters/timers.
