Hi, I have two PCs with the same OpenVPN client configuration. One is running openvpn 2.3.11 (-2, Debian 9) and works fine, the other one has openvpn 2.3.4 (-5+deb8u1, Debian 8) and fails with a timeout.
On both machines I use network-manager-openvpn in their respective versions (1.2.6-2 on the "good" one, 0.9.10.0-1 on the other). With both clients, I'm in the same WLAN. The OpenVPN server name resolves to the same IP address on both machines. Because things work with one client, but not the other, I rule out any server problems. Also, I don't have server shell access. With the older machine, I get the following in the journal/syslog: systemd[1]: Starting OpenVPN service... systemd[1]: Started OpenVPN service. NetworkManager[2443]: <info> VPN: loaded org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn NetworkManager[2443]: <info> new connection /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/VPN connection 1-ca731400-4dbe-4780-9bfc-ed8b47d6fae5 NetworkManager[2443]: <info> new connection /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/VPN connection 1 NetworkManager[2443]: <info> Starting VPN service 'openvpn'...
