As far as I know outside USA it uses an encryption key of 48 bits. So you can rate it as weak security, but still better then plain TCP/IP.

Subject: How secure is PPTP?
Classification: Restricted
Hi,
Would really appreciate any info on PPTP security in Windows NT. We use
Microsoft's PPTP on the server and clients to connect via VPN but I can't
find any info on how secure such connection really is.. It's obviously
better then plain TCP/IP but any additional info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dimitri
