You can do it from the CLI, follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient#Manually_configuring_your_connection The cnfiguration and the commands are different depending on VPN: OpenVPN, PPTP, VPNC

Thanks @MariusMatutiae. Do you know where nmcli stores the configuration settings for nmcli list? I can't see passwords etc from the nm-applet gui because they're ••••••••••'ed out. – isomorphismes – 2015-05-26T18:43:20.407

I have them under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. I am not sure this is the same as Ubuntu, though. – MariusMatutiae – 2015-05-26T19:23:12.193

I ended up using vpnc since it is a Cisco network.
