Since you're starting the PPTP from /usr/local/etc/rc.d, which is pretty
late in the boot procedure and at least after loading the IPF rules,
"tun0" does not exist at the time when you load the IPF rules.
You might need to re-sync the in-kernel interface list ("ipf -y") after
the PPTP connection establishment.
I have a /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup script (automatically invoked when the PPP
connection is established) that contains this:
MYADDR:
! /sbin/ipf -y
! /sbin/ipnat -C -f /etc/ipnat.rules
!bg /usr/bin/logger -i -p daemon.info -t pppt "ppp.linkup: ipf: interfaces
refreshed and NAT loaded"
Not sure though, if this really fixes your problem.
