there is a solution, although not one in the base system, called "The Frickin PPTP proxy", which claims to work well with PPTP through PF. Never tried it much myself -- the several times I got a request for PPTP support the requirement went away before I had a complete setup and testing was not possible anymore for some reason -- but it's available from <http://frickin.sourceforge.net/> or thereabouts. > It seems that iptables and the Linux kernel can support this, would > this every be added to OpenBSD ? I do *not* speak for the developers, but I think it rather unlikely that PPTP support will be added to the base system. The main reason is that you can get a useful VPN solutions which the core develpers consider superior with other tools which are available already in the base system. Hope this helps, -- Peter N. M.
