Does TunnelMaster and TunnelBuilder support Microsoft Chap version 2?

Currently neither NTS product supports CHAP version 2. This is a recent feature that Microsoft is including in its latest PPTP for NT Service Pack 4 and DUN 1.3 update. TunnelMaster and TunnelBuilder will negotiate successfully down to MS-CHAP version 1, so most users will not notice the difference. Microsoft recommends against requiring only CHAP version 2 because it limits your network’s accessibility. Note for Watchguard users: Watchguard’s newer versions of PPTP require Chap V2 only. We’ve suggested that they support both Chap v1 and v2 so they can support our clients as well. Until this is done (or you use an earlier version of Watchguard pptp), TunnelBuilder will not work with the current version of Watchguard PPTP service. There are currently no plans to support MS Chap V2.
