Public bug reported: This is a request to add OpenVPN support.
Ubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, and Ubuntu Budgie install these by default: http://www.cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/daily-live/current/noble-desktop-amd64.manifest According to the above manifests, and installing it via the Xubuntu noble daily ISO it seems to install the following packages: libpkcs11-helper1:amd64 network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome openvpn --- Currently the only VPN protocol in Xubuntu is PPTP, but PPTP is now considered obsolete and many VPN services (as well as Apple Mac and iOS) have dropped/removed support for PPTP due to security issues. So OpenVPN has become the more widely used standard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Tunneling_Protocol#Security I don't know how package deprecation works or if it can be done, but just wanted to bring the security issue up in case something needs to be done in that regard.
