Kindly tell us which VPN service you are using.
Oh, and I should have also added this....
The service you're using most likely has you download an *.ovpn file for each location
they have servers. Make sure you have the most recent version. You said you haven't used
it in a while and they may have changed their keys or other parameters.
Then, to avoid having to search the logs, simply execute as root (or use sudo)
openvpn whatever.ovpn
It should, if your provider is "normal", prompt you for username and password. Then you
should have all the information you need about why the connection fails.
Thanks Ed, I'll try that again.
I am using a vpn called Slickvpn. I did download *.ovpn files for each
location but I didn't issue the command you mentioned. I manually
created the vpn definitions in network manager and manually populated
the information in those definitions by manually reading the .ovpn files
and transferring the information contained in them into the definitions,
plus the "vendor" supplied a windows client that enabled selection of
the site to connect to and supplied all the necessary configuration,
that I also used to get the configuration for the networkmanager
definitions. As it has been over 12 months since I last used them, which
would have been in F27, what I don't know at this stage is whether
things have changed with all their servers or whether F28 changes are
causing issues with this particular vpn.
regards,
Steve
