Hello list, openSUSE Tumbleweed (KDE Plasma) NetworkManager-1.16.0-1.1.x86_64 NetworkManager-openvpn-1.8.10-1.1.x86_64
with this openvpn configuration: > [vpn] > auth=<redacted> > ca=<redacted> > cipher=<redacted> > comp-lzo=adaptive > connection-type=password > float=no > mssfix=no > password-flags=1 > port=<redacted> > proto-tcp=no > remote=<redacted> > remote-random=no > tun-ipv6=no > username=<redacted> > service-type=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn I get many > Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: bad packet ID ... messages in the journal. I am not a networking expert, so I googled around (<https://hamy.io/post/0003/optimizing-openvpn-throughput/>) and added > link-mtu=1472 to the above, and the "bad packet ID" messages were gone (all is tested via connecting to twitch.tv in a browser). However, now the journal contains > ((src/devices/nm-device.c:11965)): assertion '<dropped>' failed > ((src/devices/nm-device.c:1478)): assertion '<dropped>' failed > ((src/devices/nm-device.c:11965)): assertion '<dropped>' failed > ((src/devices/nm-device.c:1478)): assertion '<dropped>' failed and the nm kde applet shows a greyed out icon with a red cross. I feel like the assertions should not fail. I also feel like the applet should correctly show that the connection is established. That was one thing (or more like two things). Whether it's a reportable bug(s) or not is not known to me. Now, about how to fix things right now. >From what I see in the nm GUI configurator if I press 'Advanced' on the openvpn connection, it has no support for link-mtu. It has support for tun-mtu. It also doesn't have support for mssfix other than 'yes' or 'no', while the openvpn(8) says the user can set mssfix to a value. Maybe I can try some combination of tun-mtu, fragment, boolean-only mssfix and other things that the GUI configurator can chew, and show me a 'nice' icon? _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
