The work around for this for me has been to delete the IPV4 Route that I had configured.
After looking at some of the recommendations at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733296, I found a solution. In 14.04/14.10, I originally had had to set up an IPV4 Route to get the PPTP VPN to work. In 15.04, deleting that Route from the GUI configuration settings solved the problem. After deleting that route, the VPN has been able to connect. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #733296 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733296 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1452941 Title: PPTP VPN fails to connect in 15.04, but works in 14.04/14.10 Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I can create a PPTP VPN connection and connect to a remote network in Ubuntu 14.04/14.10 (Unity live boot DVD) but the connection does not work in Ubuntu 15.04 (Unity live boot USB), even though I am using the exact same GUI configuration settings in the Network-Manager (I have confirmed this several times). In addition to the live boot instances, the PPTP VPN connected without problems for me on my 14.04/14.10 installs, but failed on a fresh harddisk install of Ubuntu MATE 15.04.
