Hello, starting with Ubuntu 20.20 and Linux Mint 20 there is no more possible to import configurations due to error:

The plugin does not support import capability

Packages versions:

daniel@daniel-pc:/etc$ dpkg -l | grep l2tp ii network-manager-l2tp 1.2.16-1 amd64 network management framework (L2TP plugin core) ii network-manager-l2tp-gnome 1.2.16-1 amd64 network management framework (L2TP plugin GNOME GUI) ii xl2tpd 1.3.12-1.1 amd64 layer 2 tunneling protocol implementation

That is by design, the import and export code was old and unmaintained, so I removed it. It needs a lot of conditionals to be added to mimic what the editor and backend nm-l2tp-servce are doing. It might be added back one day.

You can copy the corresponding VPN connection configuration from /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

Once you have copied it across to the same location on the other computer, you can inform NetworkManager to look for the new connection configuration(s) by issuing:

sudo nmcli con reload
