Android, Linux VPN

[James McDonald]

I Googled about PPTP to try and figure out why they say its insecure and
while many people parrot that its insecure. There was very little as to
exactly why its so bad.

If you or anyone has such a resource I would be interested.

Nevertheless there is PPTPD on Linux which is stable. And you can do the
whole thing with the default Android/Windows PPTP clients.
