Under my university circumstances, I should connect to a PPTP VPN to access to the Internet. Thus a high performance and bug-free PPTP client is a essence for me.
When I was using Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10, the PPTP client was working fine. But as of I replaced my Ubuntu by 15.04, my PPTP connectivity has gone toward a very bad experience.
What I am currently experiencing:
When I connect to the PPTP by clicking on the VPN name in the nm-applet
, it connects in a usual manner and gives me a good connectivity only around 30sec to 60sec but from this time onwards connection speed drops down dramatically such that when I want to load a web page only its title is loaded and rest of that page will not be shown.
When I disconnect and connect again, such behavior will be repeated.
My questions:
- Can anyone please suggect me a way to improve my default PPTP client?
- Is it possible for me to use 3rd party PPTP clients? If so, which is the best?
Context:
pptp
version : 1.7.2- Underlying interface: Intel Centrino Wireless N 2230
