The PPTP client works well.

So the following lines were added in /etc/network/interfaces to enable the tunnel at system startup :

auto tunnel
iface tunnel inet ppp
    provider myTunnel

but the vpn remain unreachable until I restart the network with :

/etc/init.d/networking restart

Did I miss anything ?

Same problem detected on Ubuntu v16.04 LTS. PPTP working by issuing `pon myTunnel`, but not on restarts. – Sopalajo de Arrierez Dec 18 '16 at 17:14
Please post output from `sudo tail -n 1000 /var/log/syslog | grep "ppp" -i`. – Sopalajo de Arrierez Dec 18 '16 at 22:01
