It may be otherwise configured to act as a NAT gateway, but this is independend: this allows another FreeBSD or Win2K or maybe even Linux box to establish a PPTP VPN tunnel, and perform direct routing between net1 and net2. Any machine within net1 will be abel to reach net2 directly, and vice versa. To let machines from the outside Internet -- not the other side of the tunnel -- reach the inside boxes, you will need to set up some other NAT mechanism, but, once again, this is entirely independent of mpd - mpd will provide the VPN functionality regardless of whether the FreeBSD box is also acting as a NAT gateway.
