[BUG] Add packages for proper VPN support
[BUG] Add packages for proper VPN support
MX17 has network-manager plugins installed but user can't add/configure new VPN connections through "nm-connection-editor". He needs to add GNOME plugins (e.g. network-manager-pptp-gnome, network-manager-openvpn-gnome...) which isn't even obvious (looking at filenames like libnm-vpn-plugin-openconnect-editor.so or libnm-vpn-plugin-pptp-editor.so in dialog). So all corresponding NM GNOME plugins packages needs to be installed by default.
Re: [BUG] Add packages for proper VPN support
Not sure about that. I have openVPN running with Network Manager. The setup was without any trouble or other additions.

Re: [BUG] Add packages for proper VPN support
Just tried Live in VirtualBox. Only OpenVPN opens dialog, PPTP and VPNC complains about plugin.
P.S. No wonder, network-manager-openvpn-gnome is installed unlike the other two.

Re: [BUG] Add packages for proper VPN support
I was clarifying that standard OpenVPN is trouble free. Never tried the other two. I am sure the devs will take a look at this.

I have tried and failed to do this : can't think what to put into the "Gateway" box. Please give me a cluerichb wrote:Not sure about that. I have openVPN running with Network Manager. The setup was without any trouble or other additions.

Re: [BUG] Add packages for proper VPN support
You put in a country gateway. For example swiss.privateinternetaccess.com which is Switzerland, Another example is nz.privateinternetaccess.com which is New Zealand. There are many to choose from. Speeds will vary depending on the server. I got the list with a wget command but cannot readily find it. I will continue to look. The wget download also gives you the certificate to use.GuiGuy wrote:I have tried and failed to do this : can't think what to put into the "Gateway" box.

Re: [BUG] Add packages for proper VPN support
Thanks, vamsi and Rich.
Still no joy here after many attempts: could my DHCP router be blocking me?

Re: [BUG] Add packages for proper VPN support
Are you trying to use the free services that the video shows or a paid service? The configurations are different. I am unfamiliar with the video and the free VPN and use the paid Private Internet Access. I am not sure but doubt that your router is blocking.
EDIT: Deleted OpenVPN which is
and added Private Internet Access

Re: [BUG] Add packages for proper VPN support
Yes, was trying to use the free OpenVPN.
I don't really need a VPN so I will stop struggling to get one.
Thanks for your help.
