All seem to work fine.

But I wonder if it is enough secure ?

As usual, the answer to "is this secure enough" is "it depends on how
valuable whatever you are protecting is". PPTP is riddled with design
flaws. None of those attacks are trivial, but a skilled attacker can
probably break just about any PPTP installation. That is why use of PPTP
is banned at my workplace.
