Hoi everyone, I have an old openvpn script that I'm trying to convert to a NetworkManager configuration on Ubuntu Intrepid. I've got it mostly working, and I've verified that nm passes the same parameters to openvpn as my (working) script does (besides --resolv-retry infinite and --ns-cert-type server, which shouldn't affect this). Apparently NM is doing something extra that's breaking things, but I haven't been able to find a useable solution.
After some looking in the logs and routing table and some playing around I found that I can make the connection started by networkmanager work by executing this command: route del -host vpn.company.nl dev tap0 Where vpn.company.nl is the vpn server I'm connecting to. I'm not really sure why that route was added in the first place, since to me it seems like it would try to route the vpn connection over the vpn. The interesting part of my syslog looks like this (public ip addresses anonymised): Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> VPN connection 'Company' (IP Config Get) reply received. Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> VPN Gateway: XX.XX.64.74 Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> Internal Gateway: 192.168.168.1 Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> Tunnel Device: tap0 Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> Internal IP4 Address: 192.168.170.229 Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> Internal IP4 Prefix: 32 Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> Internal IP4 Point-to-Point Address: 0.0.0.0 Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> Maximum Segment Size (MSS): 0 Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> Static Route: XX.XX.64.74/32 Next Hop: XX.XX.64.74 Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> Static Route: XX.XX.64.64/27 Next Hop: XX.XX.64.64 Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> Static Route: YY.YY.228.0/22 Next Hop: YY.YY.228.0 Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> Static Route: YY.ZZ.255.11/32 Next Hop: YY.ZZ.255.11 Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> Internal IP4 DNS: YY.ZZ.231.73 Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> DNS Domain: '(none)' Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> Login Banner: Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> ----------------------------------------- Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> (null) Dec 18 13:10:57 mypc NetworkManager: <info> ----------------------------------------- The rest of the networkmanager entries in the log are about the 192.168 range. I saw nothing strange there, but I can post it if needed. My openvpn command line is: /usr/sbin/openvpn --client --dev tap --proto udp --remote vpn.company.nl 1195 --nobind --persist-key --persist-tun --ca /etc/vpn/ca.crt --ns-cert-type server --comp-lzo --verb 3 --auth-user-pass --user me --group nogroup --daemon Thanks for your time!
