Setting up PPTP on GL-MT300N-V2, traffic does not get routed through vpn

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Hello,

I would like to setup a pptp-connection on my GL-MT300N-V2 router. Unfortunately my vpn provider does not support wireguard and ovpn is too slow. As it is just for one device for video streaming I accept the lower security.

I have been using the guide (https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/pptp/client) to setup the connection. After some additional changes to /etc/ppp/options.pptp (1: refuse-pap, 2: refuse-eap and 3: commenting out #mppe required,no40,no56,stateless) the router successfully connects to the server.
The traffic does not get routed through the vpn though.

I would be happy, if you could take a look at my config and tell me what went wrong:

just to clarify, if the PPTP supposed to go over the VPN, or the other way around ?

It's supposed to go:
Client (TV connected through LAN) -> VPN (PPTP) -> Internet (Streaming)

The OpenWrt router (GL-MT300N-V2) only purpose is to tunnel one devices internet traffic through vpn.
It is connected through ethernet to my main router which setups the internet connection.

Gateway redirection is enabled by default.
Perhaps the connection is not entirely successful.
