| FYI iptables does not support pptp filtering. In order to support it you
| need to apply the pptp patch from patchomatic. In my experience it's not
| worth it. I ended up using FreeSwan installed on myfirewall gateway as
| my VPN solution.

I believe there is a userspace IPsec package, reasonably high overhead
but runable where a patched kernel is politacally incorrect. Does that
ring a bell with anyone?
