The following were found using Google and searching for "pptp+FreeBSD"
and "ipsec+FreeBSD":

FreeBSD Diary has articles on both IPSec and PPTP:

    http://www.freebsddiary.org/pptp.php
    http://www.freebsddiary.org/ipsec-tunnel.php

Daemon News also has a IPsec How-To:

BSD Today also has an article about "a FreeBSD firewall with an IPSec
uplink":

I remember reading this a while and thought it pertinent (sp?) to your

If you're really paranoid please note that Microsoft's implementation of
PPTP isn't the most secure:

Generally you should look at IPSec more than PPTP.
