PPTP Server
1) We need to add the Poptop repository to our system so we'll do a "rpm -Uvh http://poptop.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/fc7/pptp-release-current.noarch.rpm".
2) Let's install the pptp daemon "yum install pptpd"
3) "nano /etc/pptpd.conf" to open the configuration file.
4) we remove the # before "bcrelay eth1" and configure the last 2 lines (local-ip and remote-ip) to be the wanted ip ranges
5) "nano /etc/ppp/chap-secrets" and we add a new user "newuser pptpd password *"
6) "service pptpd start" and your pptp server is online!
PPTP Client
1) We need to add the Poptop repository to our system so we'll do a "rpm -Uvh http://poptop.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/fc7/pptp-release-current.noarch.rpm".
2) "yum install pptp"
3) pptpsetup --create VPN --username yourusername --password yourpassword --server yourserver --encrypt --start
4) "ping ip of the server" to be sure
This tutorial assume your kernel has the MPPE (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption) encryption module built in (but generally most kernel nowadays include it) for security sake so that all the data would be encrypted when sent through internet.

# Sample Poptop PPP options file /etc/ppp/options.pptpd
# Options used by PPP when a connection arrives from a client.
# This file is pointed to by /etc/pptpd.conf option keyword.
# Changes are effective on the next connection. See "man pppd".
#
# You are expected to change this file to suit your system. As
# packaged, it requires PPP 2.4.2 and the kernel MPPE module.

# Authentication
# Name of the local system for authentication purposes
# (must match the second field in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets entries)
name pptpd

# Network and Routing
# If pppd is acting as a server for Microsoft Windows clients, this
# option allows pppd to supply one or two DNS (Domain Name Server)
# addresses to the clients. The first instance of this option
# specifies the primary DNS address; the second instance (if given)
# specifies the secondary DNS address.
#ms-dns 10.0.0.1
#ms-dns 10.0.0.2
# If pppd is acting as a server for Microsoft Windows or "Samba"
# clients, this option allows pppd to supply one or two WINS (Windows
# Internet Name Services) server addresses to the clients. The first
# instance of this option specifies the primary WINS address; the
# second instance (if given) specifies the secondary WINS address.
#ms-wins 10.0.0.3
#ms-wins 10.0.0.4
# Add an entry to this system's ARP [Address Resolution Protocol]
# table with the IP address of the peer and the Ethernet address of this
# system. This will have the effect of making the peer appear to other
# systems to be on the local ethernet.
# (you do not need this if your PPTP server is responsible for routing
# packets to the clients -- James Cameron)
proxyarp
# Normally pptpd passes the IP address to pppd, but if pptpd has been
# given the delegate option in pptpd.conf or the --delegate command line
# option, then pppd will use chap-secrets or radius to allocate the
# client IP address. The default local IP address used at the server
# end is often the same as the address of the server. To override this,
# specify the local IP address here.
# (you must not use this unless you have used the delegate option)
#10.8.0.100
# Logging
# Enable connection debugging facilities.
# (see your syslog configuration for where pppd sends to)
debug
# Print out all the option values which have been set.
# (often requested by mailing list to verify options)
