Issue with VPN connecting

Koop · 04-19-2014, 11:06 AM

I just changed from Ubuntu 13.10 to Kubuntu 14.04 and I've got issues with OpenVPN. I have the OpenVPN plugin installed and it tells me it's connected to the VPN but I cannot surf the Internet despite plasma network manager saying its connected.

I got this from syslog.

Code:

I'd suggest either posting your conf file or configuring split tunneling. Also it seems a little odd to have a static route to 10.143.1.1/32 with 10.143.1.1 as the next hop especially since you've got 10.143.1.5 as the gateway and /32 should only allow you to get to 10.143.1.1 directly but I'm no networking expert so I'm just calling what looks out of place to me.
