So first I run the command below to see allow available plugins for network-manager
$ apt search network-manager
The command will list all the plugins including the l2tp plugin
----- output omitted ---
network-manager-iodine-gnome/focal 1.2.0-3 amd64 network management
framework (iodine plugin GNOME GUI)
network-manager-l2tp/focal 1.2.16-1 amd64 network management
framework (L2TP plugin core)
network-manager-l2tp-gnome/focal 1.2.16-1 amd64 network management
framework (L2TP plugin GNOME GUI)
----- output omitted ---
As I was only requiring the l2tp plugin for my VPN I installed only the required plugin for my l2tp VPN to work, for l2tp VPN install the plugin as below:
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager-l2tp
So if you're running another type of VPN, install the required plugin.
Hope it will help someone. Cheers!
For arch based distributions ...use...
