Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

Well, this is not really a bug, but "network-manager-pptp" configuration screens changed a lot between Hardy and Intrepid. The useful feature "only use VPN connection for these addresses" allowing to restrict VPN use to a subset of ip addresses disappeared in Intrepid.

My question is : If it will not be added again, is there a way to achieve the same thing with a configuration file or gconf ?

I also would like to know how to deal with that.

Might this rather be caused by a change in nm-applet than in network-manager itself?

It seems the functionality hasn't been removed, it's just the interface has changed (for the worse imo). There's a workaround in the thread on bug 305584: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/305584
