Openvpn network manager tries to connect to 127.0.0.1
Posted: May 4th, '21, 09:31I tried to setup a client openvpn connection with network manager, by importing the ovpn file with Gnome.
The import goes OK, but the vpn doesn' seem to start. It seems from the logs that it tries to connect to the right port but the wrong address (localhost):
So I tried starting openvpn manually and it works, this is the matching log line:
I searched into this forum and into bugs.mageia.org but I don't see anything useful, maybe I'm just missing something that I should be able to spot easier.
Note that into the configuration dialog, the gateway address is correct and visibile, and the manual setup uses the same file (renamed to .conf).
