@seth-arnold: This bug was filed against 18.04 prerelease. The only option provided to me by Bionic is PPTP, which is insecure and its use is dangerous.
- At the minimum, L2TP-over-IPsec, IKEv1, and IKEv2 should be supported by default without installation of any other packages. These are modern and robust technologies. - PPTP should not be offered by default; if the user must use it, they should have to install an additional package (or, at the very least, be presented with a warning). The insecurity of PPTP has been known since 1998. Further information justifying the complete removal of PPTP support from Ubuntu Bionic: - https://www.schneier.com/academic/pptp/ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to- Point_Tunneling_Protocol#Security - https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2016/06/25/pptp-vpns-no-longer- supported-by-apples-built-in-vpn-client-on-macos-sierra-and-ios-10/ - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206844 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752417 Title: Out of the box, Ubuntu Bionic offers only insecure VPN option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1752417/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
