I was following this tutorial to configure a pptp connection between my centos 6 VPS and my fedora 22 workstation. There's only one thing I did different from that tutorial: I installed pptpd from the epel repository instead of the link provided.
I added the following rules to my iptables following the tutorial:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE && iptables-save
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -I INPUT -s 10.0.0.0/8 -i ppp0 -j ACCEPT
iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT
I also added the following rule to make sure my farewall is not blocking my connection request:
iptables -A INPUT -s XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -j ACCEPT
Where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is my workstation public fixed ipv4.
When i run:
pppd call pptpserver
ip route add 10.0.0.0/8 dev ppp0
I get RTNETLINK answers: Network is down for a few tries the I get Cannot find device "ppp0".
From journalctl -f I get:

Does anybody has any clue what is wrong with my connection? Is it in my workstation or on the server?
Thanks
