Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

In the mean time, you can try using.

$ nm-connection-editor

[James (jjadigo)]

same here..

dito, only import from file. My ISP support PPTP.

I see this for all VPN type (openconnect for me). This seems upstream in Network Manager

someone please fix this .....

Thanks for comment #2 too.

As far as I remember, this happens since a very long time.

It affects Linux Mint's Cinnamon as well, as it's based on GTK3.

Hi,

I solved the problem in Debian-Gnome installing "network-manager-pptp-gnome" paquet. To add openvpn connection in network manager, is needed " network-manager-openvpn-gnome" paquet.

I hope this help you.

@oriol thank you for your comment, it perfectly worked for me. all I did was:

$ sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp-gnome

then when opening the new VPN wizard the pptp option showed up.
