#18624: Please consider adding novj to /etc/ppp/options.pptp by default

----------------------+------------------------
 Van Jacobson TCP/IP header compression (RFC1144) inherently relies on the
 fact that the sender and the receiver of PPP frames see exactly the same
 stream of data. However, with PPTP on lossy networks, this is not the
 case. Result (when running youtube-dl on the PC, observed in the wild with
 SwissVPN):

     _ssl.c:1429: error:1408F119:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption
 failed or bad record mac

 As VJ compression is inherently incompatible with pptp, I suggest
 explicitly disabling it:

     novj
     novjccomp
