The pptp connection works reliably if I enter one single of the many ip addresses of the ipredator vpn gateway instead of the dns name.
vpn.ipredator.se resolves to quite a lot of ip addresses. So either network-manager-pptp has a general bug with the dns resolver, or it has problems with multi homed hosts. $ dig @8.8.8.8 vpn.ipredator.se ; <<>> DiG 9.7.1-P2 <<>> @8.8.8.8 vpn.ipredator.se ; (1 server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 40086 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 20, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;vpn.ipredator.se.
