problems setting up vpn.sh in Kubuntu

Thu Jan 09, 2014 12:17 am
I am running Kubuntu Saucy with all updates and fresh KDE 4.12/4.11.
I recently purchased an account for http://vpn.sh/
Unfortunately I can not get it to run and I do not know how to debug the problem.
Actually it should be pretty easy. VPN.sh provides openvpn-files to download. I have downloaded them and imported them in networkmanager.
File->import
I have then added the username to the Networkmanager-entry. On attempting to connect, I am asked for the password which I provide (and of which I am sure is correct, because I copy&paste it). After that Networkmanager tells me that connection failed, nothing more. Since using the same configuration file works on Android, I assume there is a problem with Networkmanager/KDE.

The configuration of the imported config file is:
Code: Select all
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote 95.154.217.111 443 # - Your server IP and OpenVPN Port
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
tun-mtu 1500
tun-mtu-extra 32
mssfix 1450
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
auth-user-pass
comp-lzo
verb 3

Anybody an idea how to solve oder debug this?

Please provide the content of /var/log/NetworkManager.log.

Meanwhile, I have solved the problem myself. The problem was that Networkmanager when importing the openvpn settings only imports the settings, but not the certificate itself. It just imports a link to the file. After importing I had moved the original files which caused the problem.
