On... 6.2.6-zen1-1-zen
will try lts/regular later.
THANK YOU!
The fix: Read Thomas_Do reply..
install via AUR networkmanager-openvpn-git -- select remove regular version during install...
Working w/o reboot (on mine).
]]>Only networkmanager-openvpn plugin not working right. Just a password loop - enter password via window -- and back to that window.. over and over. The password and VPN file work fine from the command line.
Anyway, may try another update soon - haven't had time to work on it, aside from tyring suggestions.
Thanks!
]]>TLDR - The newer glibc library breaks openvpn3 (I'm not sure if it is specific to just this vpn client or the encryption associated with tunneling). The immediate solution here was to downgrade the glib2 library (with the downgrade binary from AUR) with the command = `sudo downgrade glib2=2.74.6`. It is not recommended to ignore the glib library upgrades.

2.5.8-2 - password loop.
Well I have an old easy work around for those interested ... create an openvpn launcher on the desktop (if your desktop allows it).. and cli it in the launcher through terminal with config file, double or single click - password...
Anyway, downgrades didn't work. will have to check logs... I upgraded from a kernel from about 6 months ago.
So I can't remember which it was on.
Anybody else fix it ?
Edit: I don't use the NordVPN binary from the aur, I just import the configuration file that I download from Nord.

Openvpn over ethernet works fine from command line.
updated to 6.2.6 Zen -Still happening.
Endless password loop. Connects to network - all ok. Connect to VPN via nm-applet/networkmanager/openvpn with an imported ovpn file...
Endless password request loop. Ovpn works on all other (older) installs.
Any suggestions?
