# KeeneticOS basic reconfiguration

In case you **would like to have PPTP VPN server but no such is installed**. But first things first. For such an obsolete hardware and software keep in mind that accessing it requires passing old host key algorithms and cipers. Then:

```text
components install vpnserver
components commit
# now it will reflash software and reboot
service vpn-server
no isolate-private
# here you apply regular PPTP configuration (see my other posts)
# ...
system configuration save
copy running-config startup-config
```

If you have other VPN types enabled, better disable it as you will be using PPTP and not SSTP or OpenVPN/WireGuard. Now, for HTTP access, most of the time it will be configured for local network access only. We can change this:

```bash
ip http security-level public
ip http port 81
```

Changing HTTP UI port to something different than default will give us ability to run other service on that port and do port forwarding to inside of local network.
