PPTP requires a port 1723/tcp (aka pptp) to be open, along with IP protocol
GRE for it to work.

So, in essence, the /etc/shorewall/rules file should be something like this:

ACCEPT            wan     fw        tcp     pptp
ACCEPT            wan     fw        gre

However, I believe a more ellegant solution is to define it in the
/etc/shorewall/tunnels, as example 6 demonstrates in the man page of
shorewall-tunnels

So, something like this:
pptpserver          wan

Naturally, make sure that your /etc/shorewall/policy default reject/drop
rule is logged somewhere, and tail your message log (/var/log/messages) if
you're not using ulogd to see the rejected packets, and simply tweak
accordingly.

Cheers
Kris
