I followed the procedure of setting 2 vpn proxyvm, one is openvpn and another
one is pptp. Both of them are working fine in Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10.
However, on Qubes OS 3.2, I have encountered the following problem.
1) openvpn is working, but failed to connect to VPN automatically when "VM uplink
eth0" is connected.
I did checked the "Automatically connect to VPN when using this connection" on
the GUI configuration tool and confirmed I saved the it many times.
I rebooted the vm and even reboot the Qubes OS, but vpn didn't come up automatically, and
"Automatically connect to VPN when using this connection" on the gui was
uncheced by itself.
2) For pptp vpn, it just failed to connect. As said the configuration is
working in Ubuntu and Windows.
Is there anyone can help? And thank you for you help in advance.
If you're using Network Manager to run the VPN connections, be advised
that the auto-connect to VPN setting doesn't always work as intended.
When I used it a couple years ago it was buggy.
Also, a proxyVM can't directly tell when the physical network connection
changes state (connected/disconnected) because 'eth0' in this case is
just a virtual interface to sys-net. You could solve this by using NM in
sys-net, but that removes a layer of Qubes security for your VPN link.
Most people seem to opt for the second set of VPN instructions using
openvpn with scripts. Its more secure and openvpn will try to connect
whenever the proxyVM has access. A slightly fancier version that can be
controlled as a systemd service is here:
