Not exactly: Windows PPTP is based on GRE encapsulation, but there isn't
any documented API about.

I have some success reports using a custom commercial interception driver
taken from a Logisense CachExpress installation. Unfortunately I loose the
zip file some month ago because of disk crash ... :-(

There are some software development kit:

- NDIS Intermediate Driver Samples from PCAUSA
http://www.pcausa.com/pcasim/Default.htm

- Winpcap (freeware) http://winpcap.polito.it/

At this time I don't have any plan about Transparent Proxy development, but
I will happy to support anyone that will work on it.

Regards

Guido
