You have been subscribed to a public bug: Following the copious examples, I am trying to setup an openvpn client on 16.04 and when I try to import the client.ovpn file I get the same gateway name entered a bunch of times and none of the cert information filled out using the network management applet.
When I fill out the details manually it just tries really hard and eventually fails (where can I find logs?) When I try to connect from the shell, everything seems to go fine but no traffic goes through the tunnel even though a tun0 adapter exists. To reproduce (this assumes openvpn support is already installed): 1) export client.ovpn from an existing OpenVPN server 2) Open the network manager applet (top right of the gnome UI). 3) Add a VPN connection 4) Import (last choice at the bottom) 5) Select the ovpn file from step 1 6) Dialog is completely misconfigured. No certs are imported and the host for the VPN is comma repeated several times There doesn't seem to be any problem with the server based on the below output (for testing) root@christian:~# openvpn
