Q: PPTP not available, a recommended app for substitute?

Hello;

 

Found out the hard way, went to use my VPN on my phone for business and noticed my connection wasn't there.  I thought it was a hiccup during the upgrade to ios10, and proceeded to add back the connection settings.  What I noticed was the protocol pptp was missing.  After a quick search on the internet I found out that ios10 and osx sierra removed this protocol due to it's insecurities.  I understand that process, but don't you think it should be up to the user to make that decision?  Our network is archaic but that is what we use for vpn.  I was able to purchase a 3rd party app for my macbook pro for this function called "Shimo" and it works flawlessly.  I know Apple won't put that protocol back in there but does anyone know of a vpn app that I can use for pptp to connect to our business network for ios 10?
