I am just implementing a hardware based VPN solution for Windows XP clients.

I am currently using PPTP with MS-CHAP v1 for authentication and MPPE for encryption.

I am concrned about the security of the above solution, I have read various articles that say it can relatively easily be cracked.

How concerned should I be and what could I do to make it more secure ? (I am stuck with PPTP as the hardware box doesn't work with IPSEC/certificates at the moment).
