It is a known issue with pfSense and FreeBSD. We've had major problems with this as well. For installations where both outbound and locally terminated PPTP sessions are needed, we have been using monowall which works fine.

No. It’s still default. I did however conclude the following: When I disable my own PPTP VPN server, the outbound VPN’s work again. Can anyone confirm this? Does this have something to do with this infamous “GRE connection tracking” issue that FreeBSD/ pfSense has?

Some seem to work. Some don’t. If I start another PPTP VPN connection first, route the one that did not work through this VPN, it does work though. It looks as though the pfSense firewall blocks something, but I can’t seem to figure out what it is. It must be something stupidly simple. Does anyone have any idea?!
