VPN failed after VMware workstation installed

Just installed VMware workstation 11.1.2, after reboot the VPN (pptp) login successfully but can not open any website.

I followed this Archwiki to install VMware: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware

I use NetworkManager.

Hereby the result of ping:

$ ping -c 1  www.google.com
PING www.google.com (74.125.68.147) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- www.google.com ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms

I also tried this VPN on Windows 7 and everything goes well, so I guess the problem is about the setting of my computer.

I googled and also searched vmware website but no answer found.

Pls let me know the information needed.

Re: VPN failed after VMware workstation installed

I reinstalled NetworkManager-pptp and now ping works, but still can not broswe.

Some people said it's about MTU, try it later.

$ ifconfig
enp8s0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>  mtu 65536
wlp5s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

The router's MTU is 1480, from above output, my wifi wlp5s0 MTU is 1500

Still doesn't work.

Hereby the output of netstat:
