I personally use mpd-netgraph from /usr/ports/net to accomplish VPNs.  It
allows me to run PPTP (GRE).  It works quite well from Windows and FreeBSD
clients.  I have not tried the pptpclient for Linux, however.  The mpd
documentation and sample config files have good pointers on getting PPTP
working.  If you need more help, I can send you my production configs for
comparison.  Recently, I've been trying to help people on this list get
this setup.  It seems firewall rules are getting in the way.  I use ipfw,
and have my rules setup so that this works.  I guess your mileage may
very.
