http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1127794 Bug ID: 1127794 Summary: NetworkManager keeps OpenVPN processes running Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.0 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: opensuse@pohw.nl QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- NetworkManager keeps all OpenVPN processes running, even if no vpn is actually active. Once you activate one, you can't get rid of it in the process list. Closing the vpn doesn't help. Worse: the processes are kept running even after all OpenVPN profiles have been deleted: # ps axu|grep openvpn nm-open+ 6865 0.0 0.0 47384 7564 ? S 18:01 0:02 /usr/sbin/openvpn --remote <IP> 443 udp --nobind (...) nm-open+ 19826 0.0 0.0 47384 7776 ? S 18:13 0:00 /usr/sbin/openvpn --remote <IP> 443 udp --nobind (...) At one time I had 4 profiles with 4 active processes. This causes unstable OpenVPN connections, with lots of TLS errors and invalidated connections (i.e.: no traffic is possible after a number of seconds). # journalctl -f Mon Mar 4 18:23:56 2019 80.155.9.251:51053 TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity) Mon Mar 4 18:23:56 2019 80.155.9.251:51053 TLS Error: TLS handshake failed Mon Mar 4 18:23:56 2019 80.155.9.251:51053 SIGUSR1[soft,tls-error] received, client-instance restarting After deleting all OpenVPN profiles and killing all OpenVPN processes, I re-imported one OpenVPN profile and everything worked flawlessly after that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
