[pptp-server] State-based Firewall and VPN Server on One Box?

[Adrian]

Hello, 
  Linux and this pptp package, along with the netfilter package, are what
you're looking for.  Netfilter is capable of stateful rules, NAT in many
forms, and PoPtoP is the best, most stable VPN provider for people looking
for Windows solutions.  However, Netfilter, like kernel 2.3, is in
development and even though it works it won't be what you should use until
it's stablised.  You might want to subscribe to the Netfilter mailing list
as well.
(email listproc at samba.org with body "subscribe netfilter your_full_name")

Regards,
Adrian
