        The PPTP WAN type is not meant for VPNs, but for ISPs which require PPTP for the first hop (like PPPoE). Trying to use it for a VPN is not going to work properly.

        PPTP as a VPN protocol is dead. It's been completely cracked open and worthless for over 10 years. It's beyond time to stop using it for that purpose, no matter the reasoning.
