[pptp-server] Running PPTP behind some firewall

[john]

To enable PPTP (MS PPTP) to pass through firewall you
would need two explicit rules.

One to allow the GRE protocol itself. (no 47)
Two allow port 1723.

please note the diff between port and protocol.
it is the protocol no 47. (you are doing port)

And do this for both directions. Incoming and also
outgoing. I have done this and it works. If you have
any problems let me know also.
thanks
