PPTP Client 1.10.0 released on 2018-01-17. https://sourceforge.net/p/pptpclient/mailman/message/36194569/ The release contains a fix for Gentoo Bug 621662
works just fine. I believe there is no problem to update it in Gentoo. Since some bugs of 1.8.0 affect me as well, I all add the new version to my overlay.
