Hello, After doing some testing (see log) on a fresh install of linux mint I have figure out that the issue isn't with the network-manager-openvpn package it's just with the network-manager package. To test this I just upgraded network-manager-openvpn from each version to see when bug occurred (and restarted network-manger service each time) but the bug never happened. When I upgraded network-manager to 1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 the bug was there immediately after restarting network service.
There is an issue logged here with a lot of attention that matches the description. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1671606 ** Attachment added: "log.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/1675199/+attachment/4848352/+files/log.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-openvpn in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1675199 Title: Can not reconnect a VPN without retarting network-manager Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello, since the last update of network-manager-openvpn (2017/03/15) on Xenial, I have an issue with VPN. Let's say I have two configured VPN: A & B. I am able to connect to my VPN A (or B) with no problem at the first time. However, if I disconnect from this VPN, I am not able to connect it again or to connect to my other VPN anymore. I have to restart the network-manager and it is not always sufficient. I am under Xubuntu 16.04 and openvpn 2.3.10. I apologize for the lack of technical information but I don't know how to investigate more this problem. I can only add that it was working fine before the update. Thank you for help !
