Description Aleksandar Kostadinov 2014-05-20 12:59:47 UTC
I'm using openvpn through network manager to connect to VPN. Whne I click on network manager applet connection information there are two tabs - one for my wifi connection and one for the vpn connection. Oddly enough the two tabs present the same information.

I have prepared a fix in upstream branch jk/applet-fix-con-info.

You can test it using this scratch-build:

Comment 3 Aleksandar Kostadinov 2014-05-22 08:54:58 UTC
I just tried it. It seems to be working.
I'm seeing a strange default gateway though, some IP that I see nowhere else. My routing entry is:
> 10.36.116.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.252.0   U     0      0        0 tun0

Maybe it doesn't like 0.0.0.0 ?

Also I see VPN Banner empty. Perhaps it is really empty but I don't know how to check that.

Thank you!

Looks good to me, except for the "Empty" in IPv6 information for VPN.  Perhaps we should just not show the "IPv6" section at all when no IPv6 info is present?

Yes, most probably it's empty. The banner is only used by some VPN servers (providers). You could find it either in logs, or it is displayed by nm-applet as a popup upon connection establishment. The banner can be seen in nmcli output as well:
nmcli con show act <VPN connection name/UUID> | grep BANNER
