That took me some time to track down, as it was fine with nearly all of them, and I was fairly new to networking. In my time working on MS Small Business Server (early 2000s) there were a number of routers which claimed to handle PPTP VPNs but didn't. I think even then that most of them had oriental firmware, and my opinion of even Japanese code is that it isn't wonderful. Hardware great, software poor. -- Joe
