[Bug 1752417] Re: [ffe] Out of the box, Ubuntu Bionic offers only insecure VPN option

[Sebastien Bacher]

Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Security teams are in agreement that it would
be worth adding to the default installation, that's a new feature though
so needs ubuntu-release to ack the addition, turning the bug to a ffe
and subscribing them for review

** Summary changed:

- Out of the box, Ubuntu Bionic offers only insecure VPN option
+ [ffe] Out of the box, Ubuntu Bionic offers only insecure VPN option

** Summary changed:

- [ffe] Out of the box, Ubuntu Bionic offers only insecure VPN option
+ [ffe] including network-manager-openvpn-gnome in the default installation

  [ffe] including network-manager-openvpn-gnome in the default

Bug description:
  network-manager lists only PPTP as an available VPN client connection
  type (and also offers to import a file). I'd expect L2TP-over-IPSec
  and IKEv1/IKEv2 options as well.

  In fact, most major desktop OSes have removed PPTP altogether because
  it's insecure, and Ubuntu should probably do so in 18.04 as well, at
  least from the GUI!
