Thank you. I think the weakness is due to the password-based authentication.
The attacker can use dictionary attack to pass the authentication,right?

How difficult it is to pass the MS-CHAPv2 with MPPE-128bit encryption by using 
the dictionary attack? I mean, will it take a long time to pass the 
authentication by dictionary attack?

BTW, is it reasonable to say that any VPN without PKI is insecure?

Another question is, is there any IPSEC-based VPDN solution?
