This is not an issue in network-manager-openvpn but rather in network- manager itself. It expects any VPN plugin to start IP configuration within 40 seconds of being launched. For reasons unknown that value is hardcoded.
I've created a patch that increases the timeout to 500 seconds and a PPA for it: https://launchpad.net/~elemecca/+archive/ubuntu/nm-vpn Currently it only covers Trusty, but I can add other series on request. ** Package changed: network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu) => network-manager (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420411 Title: vpn connection handshake times out too soon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/420411/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
