I understand this is an upstream bug. I'll just write this here anyway, will post bug upstream later if nobody beats me to it.
Affects me too. The imported config said aes-256-cbc. That was read in as BF-something-or-other. Blowfish, not AES. After setting that to AES-256-CBC, the thing connects. After some time, the following happens: nm-openvpn[3577]: [integrity] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting nm-openvpn[3577]: SIGUSR1[soft,ping-restart] received, process restarting nm-openvpn[3577]: NOTE: the current --script-security setting may allow this configuration to call user-defined scripts nm-openvpn[3577]: TCP/UDP: Preserving recently used remote address: [AF_INET]<ip address>:<port> nm-openvpn[3577]: UDP link local: (not bound) nm-openvpn[3577]: UDP link remote: [AF_INET]<ip address>:<port> nm-openvpn[3577]: [integrity] Peer Connection Initiated with [AF_INET]<ip address>:<port> nm-openvpn[3577]: Preserving previous TUN/TAP instance: tun0 nm-openvpn[3577]: /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper --debug 0 3573 --bus-name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn.Connection_8 --tun -- tun0 1500 1558 <ip address> <mask> restart nm-openvpn[3577]: WARNING: Failed running command (--up/--down): could not execute external program nm-openvpn[3577]: Exiting due to fatal error NetworkManager[667]: <error> [1496682880.1314] platform-linux: do-add-ip4-route[8: 0.0.0.0/0 50]: failure 101 (Nätverket kan inte nås) It seems that nm-openvpn fails.

I set up my configuration via import: http://neartalk.com/ss/2017-03-29_001_633x332.png On all earlier versions of Ubuntu, after importing the configuration, I'm able to connect to the VPN. However, in 17.04, connection attempts always give this error immediately: "The VPN Connection disconnected because the VPN Service has stopped" Clearly the VPN Service has NOT stopped. I've confirmed that this error is false by taking the exact same import-file and I imported it into an Ubuntu 16.04 computer and then the VPN connected without issue. Also, with this same import-file I've had no issues in Ubuntu 16.10. So I've thoroughly confirmed that there is no issue with the VPN service. The issue is with the client in Ubuntu 17.04. I cannot upgrade to 17.04 until this is fixed.
