I'm having the same issue. Used to work on Ubuntu 16.04, and then somehow failed. I have a Ubuntu 12.04 next to me a it connects to the same PPTP with success.
I have attached a syslog of both machines. Let me know if I can test anything else. Thanks. ** Attachment added: "Here is a syslog dump from a failed 16.04 attempt, and a successful 12.04 connection and disconnect." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pptp-linux/+bug/259698/+attachment/4781520/+files/pptp_fail_ubuntu-16.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pptp-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259698 Title: pptp vpn service stops unexpectedly Status in pptp-linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: pptp-linux Using ubuntu 8.10 x86. pptp-linux version 1.7.2-1 When I select the vpn option, I can create the VPN configuration, but after trying to connect for around ~1 second, I get the popup error: "The VPN connection 'Warwick' failed because the VPN service stopped unexpectedly."
