Ubuntu – VPN PPTPD with MPPE Support for Debian or Ubuntu

debianpptpUbuntuvpn

Having an unencrypted vpn connection from a windows client to linux is pretty easy by using pptpd. When I was looking for an solution for encrypted (per MPPE) connection, I found a lot of information about patching the kernel etc. – so it definitly works after some work. But all these information is pretty old (2005-2006).

Is it the same solution nowadays? I am not asking for a complete instruction (only if it's short) – I am more asking for a link to the right solution.

Even with encryption, the security of PPTP is pretty weak: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Tunneling_Protocol#Security

That's why PPTP seems to be getting deprecated.
