Same here. PPTP ins't showed in list of VPN connections.
Same. NetworkManager-pptp x86_64 1:1.1.0-3.20150428git695d4f2.el7 NetworkManager x86_64 1:1.8.0-11.el7_4 NetworkManager-pptp-gnome x86_64 1:1.1.0-3.20150428git695d4f2.el7 epel It's critical for me. Please fix it.
I can confirm the same. Seems it's because its linked with the old libnm-util/libnm-glib and not with libnm. As a workaround I downloaded the latest source from gnome ( NetworkManager-pptp-1.2.4.tar.xz ) , compiled it manually and it's working fine.
NetworkManager-pptp hasn't been updated in EPEL7 since 2015 and no longer functions with the current NetworkManager. I would suggest that it should be orphaned and removed if it's not going to get updated. It's currently useless as-is. As a VPN, pptp is pretty useless anyway.
It is critical for me too and I downloaded the latest source from gnome but can't get it working.
