My mistake. I misread the manpage:
COMPILATION
The kernel options NETGRAPH_MPPC_COMPRESSION and
NETGRAPH_MPPC_ENCRYPTION
are supplied to selectively compile in either or both capabilities. At
least one of these must be defined, or else this node type is useless.
The MPPC protocol requires proprietary compression code available from
Hi/Fn (formerly STAC). These files must be obtained elsewhere and
added
to the kernel sources before this node type will compile with the
NETGRAPH_MPPC_COMPRESSION option.
NETGRAPH_MPPC_ENCRYPTION defaults to 1.
NETGRAPH_MPPC_COMPRESSION defaults to 0; it uses proprietary code.
So the bottom line is, encryption works OK but there is no compression yet.
Has anyone compared the performance of this implementation vs. a native
Windows PPTP server with compression enabled?
