Since gentoo-wiki is down I have samo trouble with for example iptables configuration for PPTP VPN Server

Follow this how-to https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-470858-highlight-pptp+howto.html without shorewall

My iptables:
Code:

 export WAN=eth1
 export LAN=eth0
 export VPN=ppp0
 export LAN_IP=172.16.111.0/255.255.255.0

# VPN PPTP (1723)

 iptables -A INPUT -p TCP --dport 1723 -i ${WAN} -j ACCEPT

 iptables -A INPUT -p gre -d 172.16.100.100 -j ACCEPT
 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1723 -d 172.16.100.100 -j ACCEPT

 iptables -A FORWARD -p gre -d 172.16.111.1 -j ACCEPT
 iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 1723 -d 172.16.111.1 -j ACCEPT

 iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p gre -d 172.16.100.100 -j DNAT --to-destination 172.16.111.1
 iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 1723 -d 172.16.100.100 -j DNAT --to-destination 172.16.111.1:1723

 iptables -A FORWARD -i ${VPN} -o ${LAN} -s 172.16.111.0/24 -j ACCEPT

# NAT for VPN-ie (ppp0)

 iptables -I FORWARD -i ${VPN} -d ${LAN_IP} -j DROP
 iptables -A FORWARD -i ${VPN} -s ${LAN_IP} -j ACCEPT
 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ${VPN} -j MASQUERADE



From LAN: Everything is working
From WAN: I get error 619 in Windows XP

And my logs:

Code:

This could be an issue of the conntrack modules. Do you have NF_CONNTRACK_PPTP enabled on the firewall, since GRE packets need a special NAT helper modules.

NF_CONNTRACK_PPTP is not enough. I have enabled this options in kernel but i have still the same problem:

Code:
GRE: read(fd=6,buffer=8059560,len=8196) from PTY failed: status = -1 error = Input/output error, usually caused by unexpected termination of pppd, check option syntax and pppd logs
Dec 18 12:56:06 Serwer pptpd[4223]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed (pty,gre)=(6,7)

I found this while looking at google:

http://www.nabble.com/Unable-to-get-MPPE-working-td15692333.html

maybe this helps you as well.
