That's really odd, I have looked around in my syslog, and can't see anything at all from openvpn (it happily logs to syslog when I use it's init script to start it up). > > Basically I can't get the vpn working, and even starting NM with > > --no-daemon doesn't appear to log anything from openvpn, so I'm not > > exactly sure why it isn't connecting. > > Please check the syslog if there is any information.

Yeah, I have seen the openvpn process, and managed to strace it :-) It is sitting there writing data to the remote address. I imagine nothing else is happening because of the configuration differences you highlighted. Cheers for your excellent work :-) (BTW, I'll get you a screenshot at the weekend, the property page is just about usable at the moment, perhaps someone will be able to come up with a mockup that shrinks the space it needs).
