Hello!

We have deliberately chosen not to provide PPTP access with any authentication since the birth of AirVPN. MS-CHAPv2 authentication vulnerabilities are well known since years, nothing new under the sun. Attacks against PPTP with MS-CHAPv2 are trivial and can be performed automatically and rapidly with various tools.

Kind regards
