Hi KeithG,

The PPDP options are the pass to the pptp daemon. So the PPTP.Debug is
documented by the pptp man page. I don't run pptp and have no experience
with it, thus no idea what is a good value to debug.

It seems the plugin has support for PPPD.RequirMPPE40,
PPPD.RequirMPPE128. Did you try those values?

I suspect, it's just a matter of which options is used for NM or
ConnMan. Try to catch the options used in both cases.

Sure, I agree. Maybe someone is interested to contribute and update
the extension again.

Indeed, the desktop integration is not on par with NM. I'd love to see
improvements on this front. I am no UI developer and try to stay away
from these things :)

Thanks,
