Sorry if this has been discussed before but i am not good at searching forums.
I have a VPS at linode which i setup pptp server along with openvpn. i can connect to the pptp server from any device successfully except my ac66u which produces the following logs

Jan 5 12:09:47 pptp[1588]: Plugin pptp.so loaded.
Jan 5 12:09:47 pptp[1588]: PPTP plugin version 0.8.5 compiled for pppd-2.4.5, linux-2.6.22.19

nvram set vpnc_pptp_options_x="+mppe-128"
