Hi. I'm sorry if my question will be a little bit out of topic, but I think it is connected with security. I'm organizing PPTP service and interested in encryption of traffic. As PPTP server i'm using MPD port (mpd-3.2). I've installed it with MPPC and MPPE options (all necessary sources are included, as I understand). Now I start mpd with MPPC-MPPE options enabled. As PPTP client I have Win NT 4.0 Server. When I try to connect to PPTP server without enabled Encrypt option (NT) it is succeeded. But when I enable Encrypt option on NT the connection fails while everything is OK. Now I think may be my problems are because of US export restrictions, My NT and MPD simply do not support MPPE. I live in Russia. Recently US government canceled this restriction but my be my NT and FreeBSD(4.0) do not know about this. Dmitry.
