Increase Maximum VPN PPTP accounts in Tomato

Make sure to ENABLE the SSH service.

Using Putty, access the router IP and login.

Issuing the following command will list (in plain-text) the users & passwords currently set up.

nvram get pptpd_users

This will return a text-string consisting of all the usernames & passwords, where the username is immediately followed by the password in brackets ( username<password> )

Append this string with the additional usernames and passwords, and used the following command to save it back to the nvram of the router.

nvram set pptpd_users='existing_username1<existing_password1>existing_username2<existing_password2>new_username1<new_password1>'

next, committ nvram which saves it so that it will be there after restarts.

nvram commit

After this, exit the SSH connection, and via the web-configuration page, reboot the router.
