It's not a funny joke to be recommending PPTP to anybody. Some may miss
the sarcasm and actually try to deploy it.
Any further amount of reading (if done) would reveal that PPTP can't
really be called secure and should be avoided. Its successor, L2TP, can
be improved somewhat, at least the connections, by tunnelling over SSL.
But then why not cut out the middleman and use SSL to begin with? Fewer
parts that way.
IPsec and SSL are your two options:

I'm wondering that since IPsec is part fo IPv6, the equivalent to an
IPsec-on-IPv4 VPN could be made using IPv6 instead. Maybe that would be
smarter in the long run.
