This affected me yesterday (2020-01-14), and today was able to work
around it with R4kk00n's comment instructions.
I'm using an up-to-date Ubuntu 18.04, so this bug is clearly still
there. Some data from my setup:
Kernel: 4.15.0-74-generic x86_64
bits: 64
gcc: 7.4.0
Distro: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
Thanks R4kk00n, your workaround worked for me.

Title:
PPTP connection does not establish due to error: "Connection
activation failed: the VPN
After some tinkering I've found a somewhat different workaround (of you
might call it a fix) and a probable immediate cause of this behavior.
My VPN server has an address of 192.168.17.1 and it assings a range
192.168.17.33 - 192.168.17.62 to clients. I used to manually add the following
routes
Well, if I could work without static routes, I wouldn't see an issue. And
removing and reentering them doesn't help: I can connect with an empty
list, but it refuses to when I add a route.
I have "use this connection only for resources on its own network" checked
On 1 Dec 2015 05:45, "berend"
And it seems I either had a wrong static route (most likely) or re-
entering it fixed it.

Like #3: after removing static routes, I can connect.
