But in this case the connection specifies the target VPN server somehow (I called it gw.mujsrv.org), but the NM OpenVPN client tries to connect to 1a9107897c24.gw.mujsrv.org, 3abc1fd99dff.gw.mujsrv.org, 85f0005caa82.gw.mujsrv.org, f6046c7831be.gw.mujsrv.org, ... - which, of course, isn't DNS resolvable and thus the connection cannot be established at all. And I don't understand why it does that ;) --- Franta Hanzlik _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
