Re: PPTP and VPN's ?

I'm a newbie at VPN's, so please be patient with me.

I assign my users private IP addresses and force them to use a proxy server
for web access. In this setup, it is impossible for them to access their
server via PPTP or L2F, right ?

Is there a PPTP proxy out there ?

If my clients want access to their remote LAN, does my internet gateway have
to have PPTP running ? Or is it only the gateway at the remote LAN ?
