Problem Setting Up A Cisco VPN Connection ( vpnc )

Support & Help Requests
1

Hi

So trying to connect to my school’s VPN here. Turns out they use vpnc and I’ve installed (with no errors) the package “network-manager-vpnc” and then rebooted.

I expected to see an option in the new connection dialog to set up a Cisco VPN connection but it’s not there for some reason. There’s only the PPTP option. There is also no option to “load a saved VPN configuration” which would have worked too as I’ve got the necessary config files.

Anyone else in the same boat? I’ll take every tips to bypass this too.

Cheers

Edit: Forgot to mention I’m running Ubuntu MATE 16.04 Beta 2

OK So nevermind. I've found what I did wrong.
I neglected to install the package network-manager-vpnc-gnome as indicated on this page: NetworkManager - Community Help Wiki

Once I did that, it immediately added the option to the network manager.

Edit:

for openvpn install the packages:

openvpn network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome

Are there any updates on VPNs for the Software Boutique?
