- Add devices to dude using the PPTP assigned addresses and the remote LAN addresses
Setup Remote Site Router:

Pptp - Clients connect:
Install Dude client locally:
Access the corporate file server from another remote site:
- Add a route to the remote site router for the corporate LAN via the pptp tunnel
- Also add a route to the corporate office router for the remote Site LAN via the pptp tunnel
- If you do not have access to the remote site LAN, you can simply masquerade everything going out through the pptp-client interface of the remote site router, hence the route from the corporate router will not be required
