DMZ is Demilitarized Zone. It is where you put your
exposed systems. What is the mfg of your firewall and
router?
GRE is a port as it relates to CISCO IOS. 47 is the port
number. They are all TCP.

GRE is IP Protocol 47, it is not a tcp port. For PPTP connectivity you will
need to open TCP port 1723 and allow IP Protocol 47 (GRE).
