Public bug reported:
openvpn version 2.3.11-1ubuntu2
Kubuntu 16.10, all latest packages
If while an openvpn connection is active, and said connection provides
the main internet access, if a short underlying connection loss occurs,
such as when used over wifi, the VPN connection will fail completely,
however remain active. What then ends up happening is the client will
attempt to re-connect but immediately fail as it's using the existing,
broken, VPN connection to connect to the server. The only way to resume
network connections to normal is to manually de-activate the openvpn
client via the network manager (ie; tell the active openVPN connection
to disconnect).
On an occurrence of a connection loss, the openVPN client should be able
to re-connect via the underlying connection, not via it's own
connection...
