I confirm the issue. I cannot login through VPN anymore since I updated from 16.10 to 17.04. I will also add to that it is impossible now to configure the VPN connections. The "Configure VPN..." option in the menu is grayed out and cannot be selected anymore from the NetworkManager.

I set up my configuration via import: http://neartalk.com/ss/2017-03-29_001_633x332.png On all earlier versions of Ubuntu, after importing the configuration, I'm able to connect to the VPN. However, in 17.04, connection attempts always give this error immediately: "The VPN Connection disconnected because the VPN Service has stopped" Clearly the VPN Service has NOT stopped. I've confirmed that this error is false by taking the exact same import-file and I imported it into an Ubuntu 16.04 computer and then the VPN connected without issue. Also, with this same import-file I've had no issues in Ubuntu 16.10. So I've thoroughly confirmed that there is no issue with the VPN service. The issue is with the client in Ubuntu 17.04. I cannot upgrade to 17.04 until this is fixed.
