As the PPTP maintainer ... yes, PPTP may give you trouble over NAT, since
the NAT must do stateful inspection or passthrough.  Also, the Linux
PPTP implementations do not fully support call identification and
multiplexing, with the result that you may have trouble with more than
one end-point behind a NAT.  In short, don't use it.  Use OpenVPN.
