** Description changed: 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. Thanks! + + --- + + Edit: There is a discussion on removing PPTP from Ubuntu: + + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager- + pptp/+bug/2041751
