What VPN options do people use in a situation where PPTP is run locally and they need to VPN out using PPTP? Is the general solution to use OpenVPN? Has there been any thought in putting L2TP support into pfSense, assuming that would be a replacement to PPTP?

this and created a package to make pptp between the same public endpoints 
possible. It's simply broken and the issue is freebsd/pf related. We already 
sent all infomration regarding tests/logs to the freebsd lists. Current state: 
it's broken and we can't fix it at our end without support by the freebsd 
developers (and actually it seems nobody is interested in fixing it).

In the pfSense forums, it appears there are kernel patches available that will fix this issue but no one cares to do it:

http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,1383.0.html

In fact, it was Mr. Ullrich himself that made the comment regarding that.

It's a known bug in pf (not pfsense)

As long as this is not corrected in pf/freebsd, the devs
will not be able to correct this in pfsense...

Betreff: [pfSense Support] Outbound PPTP Fails... Beating
the Dead Horse...
I've searched through the archives regarding this issue and
have not
found anything definitive. When running a PPTP server in
pfSense, I am
unable to connect to remote PPTP servers. I've added GRE
pass rules to
all involved interfaces with no success.

So, what is the current status of this? m0n0wall does not have this limitation and I know many people would like this feature
to be fixed
even though it is the opinion of some that PPTP sucks/is garbage/should be shot/needs to go away/etc...
