How to Setup PPTP VPN on Ubuntu

Installation of VPN requires administrative privileges on your computer. If you don't already have administrative access on your computer, this may be provided by your IT department.

  2. In the search box, enter "pptp" and hit enter.

  4. The system may prompt you to install additional necessary components. Click on the Mark button to select the additional components.
  5. Click the green check mark in the toolbar to apply all selected changes and install the PPTP plug in.
  6. When prompted to apply the changes, click the Apply button.
  7. Close the Synaptic Package Manager
Setup the PPTP connection
