Yes is will Thomas, i've changed the control file already. pptpproxy is a small forwarder deamon which forwards pptp traffic to a Windows VPN server through an iptables firewall. I supose this will do. Kind regards, Michel van der Klei signature.asc Description: Digital signature

While you at it, could you please switch the text type from an anecdote to tell someone over beer to a matter-of-fact package description? The process of installing a Debian system is not the quite time to be inspired by humorous descriptions appearing on the screen.

It's most probably not as elegant as a kernel+iptables based solutions, but it has the very sizeable advantage of Working For Me. It's a "timesaver" for those who are getting tired of trying to get iptables to properly forward PPTP through a Linux firewall.

The Debian iptables package has existed since Mar 2000, which, if my math is correct, is a bit longer than a week.
