funny this happens to you after a reflash to PR1.3. I also had to flash last week Mon, as I was on a Frankenstein PR1.2 - PR1.3 - CSSU - custom mix and I had a problem with the Qt libs and PySafe. Funny enough only that one
Anyway, after a clean reflash and restore (reinstall all applications, incl. OpenConnect), I again can use PySafe and I can still use the VPN via OpenConnect.
I took the repository versions, as I wanted to stay as close to the repositories as possible, for now, to ease the pain when having to re-flash.
But all works fine. Apart from some HTTPS authentication issues in a java application AFTER the vpn connects but that must be an IBM/SSL/JVM thing as it started happening way before my reflash.
I did notice before that the OpenConnect process was quite unhappy and sometimes killing network access when not properly closed. Requiriing a reboot. After a few times up/down it also became more unstable. I was a light user myself, as it was merely an emergency access, when there was no laptop around.
In terms of routing, I also always wanted to connect to the Internet OUTSIDE the vpn, as it was a lot faster. But I can see the need to go through the VPN when being in an restrictive country (Eg. China or other political restricted countries).
I'm on the bench since today, so I can devote some time to it, before I find a new project somewhere. I'll have to fix my SB development environment though as I messed it up big time trying to get an environment capable of compiling Chromium ...
To be Continued.
