Ok thanks, I ended up installing the gnome manager (with the ovpn gnome package too) because for some reason the KDE version has most of the settings missing, so that helped.
An odd thing to mention however though is yesterday the ovpn connection ran all day perfectly without a single problem, yet the day before it was constantly breaking, nothing had been changed logically and physically so I have no idea what was going on then... I'm going to run it with ping 1 and restart 3 for now so we'll see how well it keeps going... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1677442 Title: openvpn client breaks on connection loss To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1677442/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
