What packages add support for different VPN types to Network Manager?

Solution 1:

As far as I know, all the NetworkManager vpn plugins are in packages which match network-manager-*. For example:

• network-manager-pptp - Adds the PPTP VPN plugin. Included on a default install.
• network-manager-openvpn - Adds the OpenVPN VPN plugin.
• network-manager-iodine - Adds support for Iodine-based VPNs. (available in Quantal (12.10) and later)
• network-manager-vpnc - Adds the VPNC VPN plugin.
• network-manager-openconnect - Adds the OpenConnect VPN plugin.
• network-manager-strongswan - Provides a VPN plugin for strongSwan, providing easy access to IKEv2 IPSec VPN's.

These packages should also pull in any required dependencies for each VPN plugin. (network-manger-openvpn will install the openvpn libraries and dependencies, for example)
