The three types of tunneling protocols used with a VPN/RAS server running on Windows Server 2008 include:

• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP):
  A VPN protocol based on the legacy Point-to-Point protocol used with modems. Unfortunately, PPTP is easy to set up but is considered to use weak encryption technology.
• Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP):
  Used with IPSec to provide security. L2TP is the industry standard when setting up secure tunnels.
• Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP):
  Introduced with Windows Server 2008, which users the HTTPS protocol over TCP port 443 to pass traffic through firewalls and web proxies that might block PPTP and L2TP/IPSec.
