[pptp-server] User authentication only barrier between a hacker and network

I don't think the application integrates with NT like that.  To do so,
you'll probably have to buy a commercial product made for NT (unless it can
be done with Samba, but I haven't used it so I don't know).

As for IPSec, Freeswan is the popular choice.
