PPTP Being blocked even after adding a pass rule

[networknut]

Im trying to setup a temporary vpn using PPTP And so i added a rule to allow it through the firewall, but yet it's still being blocked.

I cannot right now but will upload pictures of the rules later but its pretty straight forward

Protocal TCP/UDP

Start port: PPTP End Port: PPTP

Redirect Target IP: [IP OF VPN SERVER]

Redirect Target Port: 1723 (pptp)

Still showing pptp traffic blocked in the firewall logs

I'm on version 2.3-RC (i386)

Would this have something to do with them removing pptp support, because that shouldnt affect my ability to run my own VPN Server using pptp…correct?

I've found PPTP support on pfSense is extremely unreliable (even if you are dialling OUT or dialling in to another server on your LAN)

In some instances I can't even connect pptp from my machine (behind pfSense NAT) to a remote PPTP server.

Some specifics of things with PPTP are unreliable on many things. But port forwarding the TCP 1723 and GRE is no issue. Connecting out to a server from a single client also no issue.
