I'm impressed by this bug. This is a huge regression. Sadly, PPTP is still one of the most adopted protocols for VPN and for Ubuntu 14.10 and later versions it is not possible to add/set a PPTP client. This feature is totally vanished from NetworkManager GUI, even with the package network-manager-pptp-gnome installed. Could any dev take a look at this, please?

What I expected to happen: Network -> Add Network Connection -> VPN -> Select PPTP and configure with GUI What happened: Network -> Add Network Connection -> VPN pptp is not listed as a possible VPN type. Cannot graphically configure VPN. Possible cause: Copying an existing VPN configuration to /etc/NetworkManager /system-connections results in a VPN which does work. The option to add a new one is possibly because of a missing file: /etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-pptp-service.name includes: [GNOME] properties=/usr/lib/NetworkManager/libnm-pptp-properties which does not exist after installing the above packages.
