Openvpn connection stops when used with VNC

Post by wided » Thu Mar 23, 2017 1:57 pm

My pc is correctly connected to VPN, but when I try to establish a VNC connection with another pc (using Remmina), VPN connection often stops.
There are times when it works, and times when it does not work.
In log, I have:

Code: Select all

Mar 23 14:47:54 pierre NetworkManager[858]: <info>  [1490276874.1035] vpn-connection[0xb94250,bb2f6c62-e888-4bc4-8367-d71557c5a830,"VTU",0]: VPN plugin: state changed: stopping (5)

As you can see, no detailed info in log.

Any guide on how to resolve this problem?

We do not support Network-Manager.

Instead, try running openvpn from a console:

Code: Select all

$ sudo openvpn --config client.conf
where client.conf is the name of the openvpn config file.

Thanks for your answer.
When connecting from a console, connection doesn't stop, but I'll have to try many times to be sure that this is the solution.
I'll let you know when tests are good.
