Description of problem: NetworkManager disconnects one VPN when one tries to enable another. This makes it impossible to have VPN connections to multiple sites at once. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.59.20110919git.nm09.fc15.x86_64 NetworkManager-openvpn-0.9.0-1.fc15.x86_64 NetworkManager-0.9.1.90-3.git20110927.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up two OpenVPN VPNs in NetworkManager (KDE) 2. Try to connect to both at once 3. Actual results: When trying the second, the first will disconnect, then the second will fail to connect. It will succeed if retried. Expected results: Additional info:
I think this is a limitation in NetworkManager itself.
I manage 6 different networks with multiple VPN's. Sometimes I need to move data from one to the other. This "disconnect" requirements should be removed for items like OpenVPN that can peacefully coexist for those of us that know what we're doing. I've had to copy over the Mandriva vpn-start/vpn-stop scripts just to get around this limitation and have to execute the commands on the CLI. Gold plating is not a requirement.
PS. I am running FC16. Kernel-3.1.0-7 (the last one with a working iwlwifi driver).
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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 to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I still would like to be able to informed when this feature gets available in Fedora. Re-opening as we're still waiting on an upstream implementation (see the external tracker).
ok, adding keyword, so this doesn't get auto-closed. though, following the upstream tracker directly may well be the best way to track when the feature gets implemented imo.
Still present in Fedora 20, plese have a look! Thanks
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
This issue is still present in Fedora 22, Fedora 23 branched, and rawhide.
this version https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lkundrak/NetworkManager/ works fine from here: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/NEWS?h=1.2-beta1 * The API for VPN plugins now supports multiple simultaneous connections. Most popular VPN plugins have been updated to support this functionality.
