The entire article is based on PPTP for this exact reason..

"If you’re ok with not being able to use this from non-jailbroken iOS devices, you should use OpenVPN instead of PPTP as I do so below"

I had to read it three times, but you are both in agreement.

Sorry about the terrible phrasing. Late night post written in the excitement of getting it to work. Didn't expect to find myself on HN in the morning :) If you're not using iOS, you should be using OpenVPN.

The post was edited after I posted. Guess I have to start Pinboard-ing everything I respond to now.

I couldn't let that awful phrasing stand :)
