Hi, There is no documentation. Look at the source: https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-pptp/tree/src/nm-pptp-service.c?id=6e4a25d5abbc06010f4ce3a69edad6e121582357#n112 It seems easiest to use nm-connection-editor (with the GUI plugin of NetworkManager-pptp) on another host, and look at the created connection in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections You can copy the keyfile over to your headless system (beware that the file must be owned by root, and `chmod 600`; followed by `nmcli connection reload`). Alternatively, once you *know* which properties you want to set, you can set them via nmcli connection modify "$NAME" +vpn.data 'property1=value1' best, Thomas
