Hi everybody,

I have the exact same symptoms on 14.04 with a PPTP VPN.

I have a very strong feeling this is related to custom routes. I can initiate the VPN and have it working (had it up for at least 15min without problems), but as soon as I add a custom route on the command line the connection drops after a couple of seconds. Also, when entered in the VPN/Settings gui, the connection drops shortly (seconds) after intiation.
Is there some conflicting process which stumbles over the custom route? Perhaps dhclient or pptp itself?

So, for now, VPN is unusable to me as I need a custom route. Bummer.
