Ugh. PPTP is riddled with holes; search for "PPTP security" on any search engine to find out why. Right now, I'm using the KAME IPsec stack to connect two FreeBSD boxes using IPsec over IPv4. You get an additional benefit of getting IPv4 over IPv4 (IPIP) tunneling as well if you don't want the overhead of IPsec. -- Jason T.
