[Bug 2041751] Re: RM: Remove dangerously insecure MPPE PPTP from Ubuntu
Hey James, thanks for maintaining pptpd for so many years. I know I'm cranky when old software I use is removed just because it's no longer in fashion. But we do try to move people to safer protocols and safer programs over time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2041751 Title: RM: Remove dangerously insecure MPPE PPTP from Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/2041751/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 2041751] Re: RM: Remove dangerously insecure MPPE PPTP from Ubuntu
I'm upstream. I saw the removal first in the release notes. Yet I'm not surprised by removal. The contributions to pptp and pptpd have declined, so the release cadence has slowed as well (1.4.0 in 2013, but a few commits in git since). Number of people asking for help has also declined. Some countries or corporations still require it, presumably because it is so easily monitored. Using pptpd on Ubuntu will be more difficult because of removal from Ubuntu, but that's just a security by obscurity; very easily bypassed by installing the software yourself.
