  • Error in connecting to pptp vpn

For those using PPTP, try the command below and reboot:

sudo eopkg install https://mirrors.rit.edu/solus/packages/unstable/n/networkmanager-pptp/networkmanager-pptp-1.2.8-14-1-x86_64.eopkg

    I have also been experiencing an issue after the most recent updates where I can import my vpn config files and certificates from my provider using the "import from file..." feature, but it always fails to connect just a split second after I try turning it on. Not even my preset vpn configurations are working anymore.

      JoshStrobl I re-read the guy's log attachments at devtracker. ssl problem and unlike this. I stand corrected.

        I just want to double check to see if there is still something being done on this issue. I'm glad Josh's issue is solved but I am still unable to use VPN myself.

          I myself am using openvpn with 2 different VPN providers without any trouble, is this bug triggered by a specific configuration or use case?

            Thank you for connecting me to that open ticket in the Dev site 0845. Also thank you Josh. Your latest post with the command line you added at the bottom has fixed my VPN issue after rebooting. 😀

              Hello, I seem to be having the same issue with my VPN, i ran the command @JoshStrobl had posted, and eopkg added a package, but it hasn't fixed the issue. For reference, i use IPVanish Pre-configured VPN, and create it according to the instructions. Please Help/Advise as how to proceed.
              Much Love for the hard hours this team puts in, hope you are faring well. 🙂

                catfishsushi there was this vpn thread with an open ssl thingy (and also at 9155)...and then there was another one on the same day with a similar problem but solved in a different way. It's recent--Search, grassfish hopper...

                  loudtrees from the network manager applet, configure VPN 🡒 Import a Saved VPN Configuration, on Budgie. Are you using something else than Network Manager? Like qomui ? But anyway the latest proposition from Josh seems to fix it for many people

                      ender hi, thank you for the reply. that's the same way i did it with my air vpn file but i'm using kde. always worked until i went to 4.1..haven't been able to figure it out.
