Just to note, SELinux is set to Permissive while trying this out Do you edit VPN connection in Gnome control-center? The check-box issue could be its problem. Please check using nm-connection-editor. Also, would you get routing table $ route and list parameters of your VPN connection: $ nmcli con list id "your connection name" OK. So I did use nm-connection-editor but couldn't make it work, finally I found that if I disable IPV6 in the VPN dialog box (inside nm-connection editor), the check-box change persists under IPV4 settings. This made it finally work and now its running just fine. We may want to document this behaviour if its expected as I didn't find it documented anywhere so far. Please let me know if there are any questions. Do not confuse "nm-connection-editor" with Gnome's control-center configuration opened via "Network Settings" in network indicator icon. nm-connection-editor doesn't have IPv6 configuration, because IPv6 for VPN is not supported yet. You can run "nm-connection-editor" when you type the command to search box in Gnome3. The check-box is under "Route..." button in "IPv4 Settings" tab. Can you get output of the commands requested in comment #2? Created attachment 811624 [details]
Output of 'nmcli con list id'
I'm seeing the same problem as the original reporter: the 'Use this connection only for resources on its network' checkbox in the VPN settings has no effect. After checking the checkbox and applying the change, returning to the settings dialog shows the checkbox is unchecked. The default route is always via the VPN.
Ron, are you doing this via the Gnome Control Center, or nm-connection-editor? I used GNOME Settings and vi. Anticipating that the latter might be considered problematic I removed the wifi settings and reconfigured using GNOME Settings only. I left the VPN settings untouched because I don't know where they live (they certainly don't seem to be in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts) so have never edited them other than through GNOME Settings. I still see the same problem: the 'Use this connection only for resources on its network' checkbox in the VPN settings doesn't stick. Confirmed on F19; in the Control Center the "Use this connection for resources..." checkbox does not get saved. Not only does the checkbox not get saved in F21, but clicking it doesn't make the "Apply" button become ungrayed. It's impossible to push "Apply" unless some other setting is also changed. This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
