Bug ID: 492149
Summary: Make OpenVPN's `inactive` setting usable in the UI
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasma-nm
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: editor
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: a...@cluonflux.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
OpenVPN has an `inactive` setting that can be used to automatically shut down
the VPN based on idle time and/or a lack of traffic. It'd be great if this
could be made available in the plasma-nm-openvpn UI. :)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create OpenVPN connection, perhaps by importing a .ovpn profile from a file
2. Go to the Advanced dialog of the connection configuration page
OBSERVED RESULT
There's no widget for the `inactive` setting
EXPECTED RESULT
It'd be nice to have widgets for the `inactive` setting ;)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 40, plasma-nm-openvpn 6.1.4-1.fc40, openvpn
2.6.12-1.fc40
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Here's the relevant section from the OpenVPN docs... sadly there are no anchors
on the page:
--inactive args
Causes OpenVPN to exit after n seconds of inactivity on the TUN/TAP device. The
time length of inactivity is measured since the last incoming or outgoing
tunnel packet. The default value is 0 seconds, which disables this feature.
Valid syntaxes:
inactive n
inactive n bytes
If the optional bytes parameter is included, exit if less than bytes of
combined in/out traffic are produced on the tun/tap device in n seconds.
In any case, OpenVPN's internal ping packets (which are just keepalives) and
TLS control packets are not considered "activity", nor are they counted as
traffic, as they are used internally by OpenVPN and are not an indication of
actual user activity.
