You're welcome.

I will try this, thanks.

After trying some different combinations, I can't say this anymore. I just
remember that AUTOHELPERS has been initially "Yes". If I find some time I
will test this again, but I can't promise this.

Thanks, this will be present in the next release, I think?

Strange. Even with the wrong settings in "conntrack" everything works, IF(!)
nf_nat_pptp and nf_nat_proto_gre are not loaded. The nf_conntrack* modules
aren't a problem.

Note: There is also a typo in "macro.PPtP" which prevents Shorewall from
compiling it:
The "Format" entry needs to be commented I think, currently it's a "?"
instead of "#".
