[opensuse] how to get ANY openVPN solution to work in 13.2?
Hi, I would like to as for some advice. I would like to have openvpn running on 13.2. The connection would be trivial (to a "anonimizing" VPN provider, me client). The ovpn-config file is available. It worked in principle in leap (never in 13.2) but recently: networkmanager ovpn plugin and setup seems to be broken since the original release and was never fixed as it seems. I am not able to get a connect with it. If ever it connected it works like a fake vpn. The IP and your connection stay unmodified, while the system shows the VPN status connected. Seems to be a resolv.conf issue? So I tried with the when installing the rpm to authorization problems (where I am right now, so maybe, but only maybe) I will find a solution. So I thought I ask: is there anyone that has managed to make it work and how (what program and what modifications). Out of potential possibilities which program / solution is the safest? Is there any plan to backport a fix it in 13.2? Should I manage to fix and to connect it: since the "belongs to what firewallzone" in networkmanager settings is also broken, I hope that opensuse Firewall is still up when using openvpn (or am I without knowing then exposed DMZ or even internal?). How can I check if firewall is protecting me when I am under openvpn (provided there will be one day and I am going to make it work). If this is just a KDE problem (which I doubt): would it be possible (and safe) to run a separate OS within kvm and use from there openVPN. Would I be able to set up such a machine in order to be able to access only one shared folder in userland and nothing else? Last question: I tried to look up the online help for networkmanager plasmoid (the one in the tray in KDE default install to be clear) but did not find any available explanation about the functionalities offered. I searched for the docs in the repos but did not find any. Is there any doc available for that plugin or was it never written. Thank you. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

Yes, I have working openvpn clients on 13.2. Not with networkmanager though.

Check your firewall rules with: "iptables --list -n"

Yes, sounds entirely reasonable. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
