--- Comment #3 from Kurt Jaeger <pi at FreeBSD.org> ---
/bin/ip is the linux 'do all ip related stuff like adding routes etc' command.

It is called with hardcoded parameters in three places in routing.c:

./routing.c:  snprintf(buf, 255, "%s route get %s", IP_BINARY, ip);
./routing.c:  snprintf(buf, 255, "%s route replace %s", IP_BINARY, route);
./routing.c:  snprintf(buf, 255, "%s route delete %s", IP_BINARY, route);

To allow it to work, some patch is needed that adapts to the FreeBSD
way of adding routes. 'get' and 'delete' probably work if we replace
/bin/ip in Makefile line 10 with /sbin/route. 'replace' is probably
more difficult to fix, but I'm not sure it's used at all.

Besides all this, the PPTP protocol was declared insecure and unfixable
a long time ago.

Please test the attached patch and report back if it works for you.
