Can someone help, i have been having trouble connected with my home universities vpn, for past 15-20days, it is an openvpn connection, so i have been using networkmanager-openvpn to import my config files, and they have worked previously, but for last 15-20 days i get connection timed out, all certificates used are correct, i have tried to connect on cli,
Connection activation failed: The connection attempt timed out
and it suggests to check journalctl logs (nothing erroneous i could find) i am also able to connect with this vpn with my phone (with openvpn official app with same files), and also i am able to connect to proton’s vpns with my laptop, so i guess my device is not completely broken, i have tried to redownload my certificate files, recreating vpn profile, reinstalling networkmanager, nothing worked
It may not apply to you but, from my own experience and assuming you are on KDE :
Remove your ethernet connection. Remove your VPN connection. Recreate an ethernet connection then the VPN. Never set ‘autoconnect’.
Before putting your computer to sleep/shutdown, manually disconnect from the VPN.
