As it stands, Ubuntu supports deprecated-and-insecure PPTP connections
out of the box even though most other major OS vendors have actually
removed support for such connections entirely.
Why is this still supported -- and, in fact, offered as the only option
by default? This will surely tempt some users into using it.
If network-manager-strongswan and strongswan are needed for secure
connections, then they should be included in the default install (and
PPTP support should NOT be!)
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- network-manager doesn't offer IKE VPN connections
+ Ubuntu offers only insecure VPN out of the box
** Summary changed:
- Ubuntu offers only insecure VPN out of the box
+ Ubuntu Bionic offers only insecure VPN out of the box
