Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

Each VPN connection should have an option to enable "Reconnect".

What is reconnect - try to connect again if connection is lost.

It is a standard feature in Windows and it is very useful in case of unstable connect (that is quite often).

It would be great if user can configure how many attempts should be done to connect.

+1 to pptp auto reconnect!
This should be a very important feature in VPN configuration, and it's absence makes VPN experience in Ubuntu rather poor...

This should be "set and forget". I have to reconnect manually every time.
