    I read the article on how to set up a PPTP server on os x however during the installation and such i did nothing involving keys or a form of encryption. Is there a guide on how to set up a simple system of keys for pptp using mac os x server. I’m not looking for something thats hard to break just a form of encryption so someone couldn’t watch the packets go by and figuring out what emails i’m sending etc. Or is IPSec my only option for this (Be darnned if i understood one word of that guide ^_~)

    In the article only passwords were created. Where as when setting up a pptp connection using XP you can create a set of keys wether they be 8 bit 16 or much higher. I know very little about encrpytion but I was figuring since we didn’t creat any form of a key its not really encrypting it but I could be wrong. I also just read an article about PPTP in os x not supporting encryption and that some people had issues connecting to office computers that required it.
