Are you sure that it is whatever you code yourself? Because right here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0-highlights.html if I under it stand right, it is said that VpnService supports only L2TP and IPSec protocols. On the other hand, if I am wrong, could you give us a hint how to code PPTP connection?
