I also stumbled on this and tried the aa-notify way mentioned in comment 6, but that didn't work for me. I get the notification prompt on allowing access to the key stored under my home directory, but by the time I click on "Allow" openvpn already failed and gave up trying. The "allow" setting (i.e. the profile extension) doesn't seem to be permanent, so when I try again to connect to the VPN I hit the same failure, and I get the same aa-notify prompt again.
Also: looks like aa-notify needs the desktop-security-center snap to be installed in order to show the prompt. This was not clear to me when I first tried. In the end I manually extended the profile, following the suggestion in comment 3 (thanks!). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2098930 Title: openvpn profile doesn't allow access to files on home dir To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/2098930/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
