Well you would not want pptp for anything, so the webmin module isn't
interesting. PPTP is really that bad. NT4 was really about the only
thing to ever try to promote it until the flaws in the encryption system
were shown to make it very insecure.
For IPsec you can use the openswan code along with the kernel modules
for IPsec, or you could use something like the cisco compatible one
(which is also IPsec based I believe).
