Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (5.11.0-34-generic #36~20.04.1-Ubuntu) without any
extra packages installed, the following event occured :
In the OpenVPN client config file, we have two servers (remote foo.bar
1194 udp, remote foo2.bar 1194 udp). We imported this config file in the
Network-Manager's GUI and then we started the OpenVPN client (again via
the GUI).
When connected (from an external network), we started a simple ping to
check the connectivity to the remote network. Then, we completely
disconnected the first remote server (foo.bar), and logically the VPN
client should have reconnected to the "foo2.bar" server, AKA the
fallback server.
But, after more than 10 minutes, the connection is still non-
reestablished (although the default value of the connect-timeout
parameter is 120s). The GUI was acting like the connection is still up,
although the remote VPN network was unreachable. We had to manually turn
off the VPN client on the GUI and turn on again to reconnect (it took a
very long time because it first tried to connect to the offline VPN
server).
If we launch the VPN client in command line, the fail-over works
perfectly. The command used in CLI is simply : `sudo openvpn
config.ovpn`
The version of the packages are the following:
network-manager/focal-updates,now 1.22.10-1ubuntu2.2 amd64
network-manager-openvpn-gnome/focal,now 1.8.12-1 amd64
network-manager-openvpn/focal,now 1.8.12-1 amd64
openvpn/focal-updates,now 2.4.7-1ubuntu2.20.04.3 amd64
Thank's in advance for lookin into this!
Kind regards,
