[Solved] openvpn with KDE issue.

I have a working openvpn server that I can connect to with windows or my android tablet and it works as expected.  I do NOT have it running all traffic through it, or do I want to.

When I connect to the same server using the same settings using KDE's Network manager applet (the newer one, old one didn't even connect for me) I loose web access. Can only talk to the VPN server. This is the case with 3 different computers.

I'm not bridging or pushing any special routes.

Anyone know a fix or workaround?

Re: [Solved] openvpn with KDE issue.

I don't have KDE but I use different connections to allow ICS to work. These are ethernet connections and thus will use it as a default route over the wifi connection. I can prevent this by ticking 'Use this connection only for resources on its network'.

It's under the routes button at ipv4 settings. This seems to be a routing issue, so this could solve it.

Re: [Solved] openvpn with KDE issue.

Found the option in plasma's network manager. 
That did the trick, thank you.

Now if someone could just toss a note up about that in the wiki.... ;-)
