RE: pptp client behind firewall
I am not familiar with iptables syntax, but you need to open ports 1723 and
port 43 through to your pptp server.

Someone pointed out to me in email that there's a userspace
"pptpproxy" daemon (not Debianized yet) that you can run on the
firewall to tunnel PPTP connections. I've never tried it myself, but
it would undoubtedly be much simpler to set up if it does what you
want.
