Title:
  PPTP connection does not establish due to error: "Connection
  activation failed: the VPN service returned invalid configuration."

Status in network-manager-pptp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The PPTP connection in question used to work on Vivid, now it does not
  connect after an upgrade to Wily.

  That error description in the title comes from nmcli; it looks
  somewhat different in the notification popup

  The relevant piece of syslog is in the attached syslog-snippet.txt

  I'd say that the IP config as stated in the log looks valid to me
