Hello, this is not a Gentoo problem per se, but i'm getting it under Gentoo.
Runninng KDE + Networkmanager (net-misc/networkmanager-0.9.10.1_pre20141101) together with vpnc plugin (net-misc/networkmanager-vpnc-0.9.10.0). I have set up a VPN connection to a AVM FritzBox (which is using - as far as i can evaluate - a Cisco like IPSec tunnel). This is running very well, but after exactly 1 hour the connection is dropped. I can reconnect, but it also lasts 1 hour. After som crawlng though the net it seems that a key validity runs ot of time at the client side. I t looks like this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vpnc/+bug/479632 The nmcli output for this connection reads like this (some obfusicated): ------------------------ cut ----------------------------- =============================================================================== Details des Verbindungsprofils (XX) =============================================================================== connection.id: XX connection.uuid: 11111111111111-2222-33333333333333333 connection.interface-name: -- connection.type: vpn connection.autoconnect: no connection.timestamp: 1425319416 connection.read-only: no connection.permissions: connection.zone: connection.master: -- connection.slave-type: -- connection.secondaries: connection.gateway-ping-timeout: 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ipv4.method: auto ipv4.dns: ipv4.dns-search: ipv4.addresses: ipv4.routes: ipv4.ignore-auto-routes: yes ipv4.ignore-auto-dns: no ipv4.dhcp-client-id: -- ipv4.dhcp-send-hostname: yes ipv4.dhcp-hostname: -- ipv4.never-default: yes ipv4.may-fail: no ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ipv6.method: ignore ipv6.dns: ipv6.dns-search: ipv6.addresses: ipv6.routes: ipv6.ignore-auto-routes: no ipv6.ignore-auto-dns: no ipv6.never-default: no ipv6.may-fail: yes ipv6.ip6-privacy: 0 (deaktiviert) ipv6.dhcp-hostname: -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- vpn.service-type: org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc vpn.user-name: -- vpn.data: Local Port = 0, IKE DH Group = dh2, Perfect Forward Secrecy = server, Xauth password-flags = 1, IPSec ID = u...@host.loc, IPSec gateway = open.nsupdate.info, Xauth username = u...@host.loc, Cisco UDP Encapsulation Port = 0, Vendor = cisco, IPSec secret- flags = 1, NAT Traversal Mode = natt vpn.secrets: ------------------------ cut ----------------------------- Any hints ? regards Petric
