connman and openvpn

Just switched to connman with wifi and ethernet working flawlessly.

I read up on how to set up a openvpn config file here:
https://github.com/aldebaran/connman/bl … format.txt
and placed the .config in my /var/lib/connman-vpn/ folder

next, i systemctl enable (and start) connman-vpd.service and checked using ps aux | grep connman-vpd  is running; and it was.

When I fire up a terminal and use "connmanctl> services"
I see my vpn name listed.  and i go "connmanctl> connect name_of_vpn" and it says "Connected vpn" but nothing happens afterwards.

I check the IP and it hasnt' changed and I check with "connmanctl> state" that I am still connected to home network.

Any advice?

Re: connman and openvpn

This is my working configuration:

[provider_openvpn]
Type = OpenVPN
Name = PIA VPN
Host = uk-london.privateinternetaccess.com
Domain = privateinternetaccess.com
OpenVPN.Port = 1194
OpenVPN.CACert = /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
OpenVPN.AuthUserPass = /etc/openvpn/pass.pia
OpenVPN.AuthNoCache = 0
OpenVPN.CompLZO = yes
OpenVPN.RemoteCertTls = server

I'll discuss connman vpn in this related topic to don't duplicate posts.
