Public bug reported: I am connected to a VPN. I want to know my IP address in the VPN. Connection Information window has a separate tab for my VPN connection, but this tab displays wrong information. In particular it displays the same IP which is used for the physical network, not the VPN IP.
I will attach screenshots of the window. Here's the output of `ifconfig`: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr b4:99:ba:e9:21:fd UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:20 Memory:d7500000-d7520000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:589 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:589 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:158293 (158.2 KB) TX bytes:158293 (158.2 KB) vpn0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet addr:10.223.160.69 P-t-P:10.223.160.69 Mask:255.255.252.0 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1406 Metric:1 RX packets:10012 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8815 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:11924577 (11.9 MB) TX bytes:797499 (797.4 KB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:d7:ab:cf:d0 inet addr:192.168.2.109 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: 2003:45:4724:4000:224:d7ff:feab:cfd0/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: 2003:45:4724:4000:344b:ae8f:f126:c469/64 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::224:d7ff:feab:cfd0/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:63724 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:43715 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:80354115 (80.3 MB) TX bytes:7173760 (7.1 MB) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: network-manager-gnome 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu4.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-32.57-generic 3.13.11.4 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-32-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Oct 16 10:38:09 2014 EcryptfsInUse: Yes IfupdownConfig: # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-07-03 (469 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) NetworkManager.state: [main] WirelessEnabled=true NetworkingEnabled=true SourcePackage: network-manager-applet UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-08-06 (70 days ago) WifiSyslog: nmcli-dev: DEVICE TYPE STATE DBUS-PATH 28:CC:01:F8:A1:1F bluetooth disconnected /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/2 wlan0 802-11-wireless connected /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/1 eth0 802-3-ethernet unavailable /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/0 nmcli-nm: RUNNING VERSION STATE NET-ENABLED WIFI-HARDWARE WIFI WWAN-HARDWARE WWAN running 0.9.8.8 connected enabled enabled enabled enabled disabled ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug trusty ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of a window with incorrect information" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1381942/+attachment/4238036/+files/vpn.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1381942 Title: Connection information shows wrong VPN IP To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1381942/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
