I don't see anywhere in the config window where it tells me. I think I have a pptp plugin. On the connection page, the only connection type option is Windows pptp, which is what I want to use. Just today I tried the openvpn plugin (no idea which version). But the openvpn plugin didn't make any difference in the behavior or the config options. I don't find anywhere on the NetworkManager help page that tells me anything about plugins, as I don't find anything that guides me through the various config possibilities that appear on the VPN config dialog. Am I missing a source of info somewhere? Thanks.
