| Summary | 0004570: Gnome NetworkManager OpenVPN immediately disconnecting | ||||
| Description | Connecting to ovpn immediately disconnects with error. WOrked before updating to latest ovpn packages | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | apt install network-manager-openvpn-gnome | ||||
| Additional Information | see attached syslog screenshot | ||||
 |
There's a rather clear error message in your screenshot. Does your .ovpn file has both entries for "cert" and "key" ? If not, then that's the issue. If the entries are there, then it might be a bug. |
 |
Yes, both are there but somehow the key is removed once the connection is saved. Also after manually adding the key later, it is removed immediately when I click save again. This happened both on my fully upgraded 2017 and a fresh installed 2018.1 kali version, both using network-manager-openvpn-gnome v1.8.0-2 on a KVM virtual machine. |
 |
Similar problem ! |
|
|
This is probably fixed by this upstream commit: https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-openvpn/commit/?id=fcf4b58fe0da5994687469ebb0c6eac3cf083e83 The patch will soon land in Debian unstable. We will likely wait for it and grab the package once available. |
|
|
any expectation when this will happen, have had this issue for several weeks now (6 or more) |
|
|
I just imported network-manager-openvpn 1.8.2-1 from Debian unstable. It should be available shortly in kali-rolling. |
