Private Internet Access is a bit of a Trojan horse, but I'm glad you agree the suite of VPN types supported out of the box desperately needs to be brought up to date.
ovpn is great, but if we're going to do that, let's also get L2TP, IKEv1, and IKEv2 added -- and PPTP either removed or saddled with a big warning about it being insecure and deprecated. (For example, network- manager-strongswan has a very short list of dependencies that aren't already in the image, so adding it won't inflate the image much.)

I'd expect L2TP-over-IPSec and IKEv1/IKEv2 options as well. In fact, most major desktop OSes have removed PPTP altogether because it's insecure, and Ubuntu should probably do so in 18.04 as well, at least from the GUI! $ apt list network-manager Llistant… Fet network-manager/bionic,now 1.10.4-1ubuntu2 amd64 [instal·lat] $ uname -a Linux machinename 4.15.0-10-generic #11-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 13 18:23:35 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
