Comment 15 for bug 1725779

I'm *not* seeing this issue on a clean&updated install of 18.04, while I did on an old install (upgraded every 6 months from 13.04 to 17.10/18.04). Haven't tried without updating (why would you).

network-manager-pptp and network-manager-pptp-gnome *are* installed (aren't they by default?). Padlock is also shown, i.e. everything works as expected. I had a look at the files installed by those packages, but none of the filenames at least suggest anything to me that would affect openvpn.
