Hi,

Install the client:
apt-get install pptp-linux

The, You have to know: IP address of the PPTP server, the authentication domain name, the username and pass you are to use, the name of the tunnel, whether the encryption is in place.

Config files:
- /etc/ppp/options.pptp
(e.g. lock noauth nobsdcomp nodeflate)
- /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
(username & pass)
-/etc/ppp/peers/$TUNNEL, where $TUNNEL is the name you wish to use to refer to the tunnel
- start connection: pon $TUNNEL (stop connection: poff $TUNNEL).
After that, You have to set up the routing policy.

Good luck.
