Title:
  Out of the box, Ubuntu Bionic offers only insecure VPN option

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  network-manager lists only PPTP as an available VPN client connection
  type (and also offers to import a file). I'd expect L2TP-over-IPSec
  and IKEv1/IKEv2 options as well.

  In fact, most major desktop OSes have removed PPTP altogether because
  it's insecure, and Ubuntu should probably do so in 18.04 as well, at
  least from the GUI!
