Hi All,

I have a problem with openvpn-applet , where once a VPN connection is established , I am unable to disconnect from it.

Has anyone else, come across this before - the work around is to kill the openvpn process using busybox

Cheers,

I'm having the same issue as well. Killing works.

Can you give more information, like what is your configuration file name etc? Openvpn Applet uses actually "/etc/init.d/openvpn stop connection_name" to stop connections, so you could test and see if it reports any errors.

I'll test and get back to you.

Yeah, space in file name is going to break it. It's a bug in applet and I just might fix it. Using init.d script wasn't good idea anyway.

Code:
# /etc/init.d/openvpn stop client (3)
-sh: syntax error: "(" unexpected

# /etc/init.d/openvpn stop client\ \(3\)
Stopping virtual private network daemon:sh: (3).pid: unknown operand
 (failure: No such VPN is running: client (3))

# /etc/init.d/openvpn stop "client (3)" 
Stopping virtual private network daemon:sh: (3).pid: unknown operand
 (failure: No such VPN is running: client (3))

# ps ax | grep vpn
 X nobody    X S    /usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon --writepid /var/run/openvp
The problem is fixed when I used a conf file with no spaces.
