Hi!
I've just installed F26 and everything works well except my VPN
connection. It used to work perfectly under F25 and I didn't think
to save its settings. I am not however stuck. I did a few (many?)
searches and found actually different results on how to set it up.
The most common results give the following suggestions:
in advanced setting enable MSCHAP & MSCHAPv2
also enable MPPE (no stateful encryption), BSD data compression,
Deflate data compression and use TCP header compression.
Then in the user name field I forgot if I entered domain\username or
just username and entered the domain in the NT Domain box.
Thinking it could have been a F26 issue I just burn a live install
of F25 and tried, same issue.
Checking the error log using journalctl -u NetworkManager.service I
am getting:
pppd[6534]: pppd 2.4.7 started by root, uid 0

I am wondering what I am missing as my former set up Just
Worked(tm). Could I forgot adding a special package? Any hint will
be super welcome!
Thanks a lot.
