Public bug reported:
For some years by now I use network-manager-openvpn to connect to a VPN
service I run on a VPS. I use this to route all my Internet traffic
through this VPN gateway.
I use this service from different devices like my desktop and my laptop.
However in the past I discovered some odd behavior when setting up my
VPN connection on my desktop system.
First when I reinstalled my machine it was not possible to just import
my config file that worked for my laptops (same OS) VPN connection. The
connection didn’t worked even it was the exact setup that worked on my
laptop. Same config, key files etc.
I figured out a workaround for his , I guess a year ago or so. By simply
adding a route to 128.0.0.0 netmask 128.0.0.0 gw 10.0.1.1.
I was able to get the connection working. A while ago the network-
manager packet version 1.2.6 was released. Installing this brought up
the same issue again. Since I had a lot of stuff at this time going on
in my life I didn’t really had time to dig deeper into this issue. But I
figured out that just downgrading to version 1.2.2 fixed the issue
temporarily for me.
Till now. Today I had to do some stuff over my official dial-in IP
address. So I deactivated my VPN connection that normally comes up with
my Ethernet connection.
Strangely enough after doing so I’m not able to bring up the connection
again, even I didn’t changed anything in the setup.
After cloneing my initial profile. Updating to network-manager 1.2.6.
and downgrading again to 1.2.2. it is working again.
This is driving me nuts, even it is working again now. Does anyone here
has an idea what this issue is about? And can I supply anything that
helps to fix this issue?
I have to say I'm currently running Linx Mint but I also discovered the
same issue on a native Ubuntu 16.04.
