Hi all,

I've experienced a very simmilar issue on 14.04 as well. The reason of
my case actually was in routing table, in particular - routes pushed by
VPN server. Those routes were wrong or interpreted incorrectly and some
kind of packet collision was happening shortly after connecting VPN.
More details described in my post - http://tdanas.blogspot.com/2015/01
/ubuntu-vpn-connects-successfully-and.html

Regards,
Danas

Title:
  VPN Connects Successfully & Then Shortly Thereafter Fails

Status in NetworkManager-PPTP:
  New
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am able to successfully establish a PPTP VPN connection in Ubuntu
  12.04 (kernel 3.2.0-24-generic) but after approximately 30 seconds to
  1.5 minutes it will fail.  During the connection time I am only able
  to load about 1-2 webpages and then they freeze and I cannot access
  resources on the VPN network.  I do not believe this is related to my
  VPN server as I am able to establish VPN connections with my Windows
  machines and Smartphones all day long with no problems.  Is there a
  solution to this problem?

  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
  Release:	12.04

  network-manager: 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu3

  Here is the syslog:
