Re: [PLUG] a question for Google Bard
How is it that a 2nd vpn tunnel coming in is authenticating in?

Randall, You typically ask questions only after doing your own research, so it's with some fear of suggesting what you've already done to point to nmcli as a way to get to stuff: # list NetworkManager connections nmcli co # note the NAME of the vpn connection, then export # its configuration nmcli co export $vpnName /path/to/vpn.conf -- Paul Heinlein heinl...@madboa.com 45°22'48" N, 122°35'36" W

I would love to see Google Bard's answer on how to redo the openSuse Network Manager openvpn software in such a way as to permit easy debugging, so that the hidden vpn established by the NM can be uncovered and understood. I have looked into the openvpn module for NM and it's not simple. This question would be a good one for uncovering Bard's true capabilities. Randall
