Hi, meanwhile i figured the following out.
If i add the keys local-ip and remote-ip to the my gconf, networkmanager breaks a few steps later. here is a output of my /var/log/messages file: Mar 18 12:08:51 hostX ntpd[2314]: Deleting interface #8 tun0, 192.168.11.31#123, interface stats: received=0, sent=0, dropped=0, active_time=980 secs Mar 18 12:08:52 hostX NetworkManager: <info> Starting VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn'...

I'll try to figure out more later... regards, patrick Robert Vogelgesang wrote: > Hello, > > On Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 09:15:02AM +0100, Patrick Steiner wrote: >> Hi, >> >> i have setup a openvpn tunnel and if i setup this via a simple openvpn >> config file all works fine.
