I would like to propose the following patch to handle the options in the configuration file (just tested it right now, and it does the job)
[vpn] <...> ping=10 ping-restart=60 As one can see, the process spawned has the proper arguments : $ ps auxw | grep vpn root 3752 0.0 0.0 28444 2728 ? S 22:16 0:00 /usr/sbin/openvpn --remote <...> --nobind --dev tun --proto udp --port 1194 --auth-nocache --ping-restart 60 --ping 10 --syslog nm-openvpn --script-security 2 --up /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper --up-restart --persist-key --persist-tun --management 127.0.0.1 1194 --management-query-passwords --route-noexec --ifconfig-noexec --secret <...> --ifconfig 192.168.100.2 192.168.100.1 This alone of course won't fix the UI, but it's a start. ** Attachment added: "Adds "--ping" and "--ping-restart"" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/364101/+attachment/4435168/+files/support-ping-options -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364101 Title: network-manager-openvpn does not support all options supported by openvpn To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/364101/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
