Dear Craig,

I tried to make it work properly by the usage of "Only use the VPN connection for these addresses", but it simply does not work. The reason is: the PPTP applet always creates the following WRONG routing entry, regardless what I put into the X-NM-Routes field:

172.16.3.253 172.16.3.254 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0

I vote for considering this behaviour as a bug or at least as a feature request, since as long as this problem is not solved I am unable to setup a proper PPTP connection which is a real reduction of functionality. I kindly ask you to reopen this issue.

By the way, I really do not understand why the usage of PPTP-VPN is so complicated under Linux. Under Windows and Mac its so easy... I just need to enter the VPN-server name login and password and everything works. Can anybody explain me why this is so complicated with Linux? (this is not a critics, I am just wondering what's the reason behind this difficulties)

Thank you and best regards,
Dominik
