ppp 2.5.0 breaks networkmanager-fortisslvpn and openfortivpn

After ppp's upgrade to version 2.5.0, I'm not able to establish VPN tunnels anymore.
Adding ipcp-accept-remote to /etc/ppp/options, tunnels are established, but remote networks are still unreachable.
Downgrading ppp to version 2.4.9 and removing the ipcp-accept-remote option allows openfortivpn to work again, but networkmanager-fortisslvpn depends on ppp 2.5.0 and has been recently moved to AUR.

You're not alone, I have the same problem after upgrading today.

I've posted this problem in the networkmanager-fortisslvpn package AUR's page, just in case you want to follow it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/netw … ent-933331

Try uncommenting ipcp-accept-remote in /etc/ppp/options
It worked for me

As I wrote in my post, I already tried it.
The VPN tunnel goes up and the routing table is properly populated, but there is no communications with remote networks/hosts.
After downgrading ppp to version 2.4.9, openfortivpn's client works as expected, but networkmanager-fortisslvpn fails to build without ppp 2.5.0.

I can confirm. Using ppp=2.5.0-1 and uncommenting the above setting works for me with openfortivpn.

Anyone has any updates on this issue? I had the same problem when it happened.. I circumvented it by keeping the old ppp package version installed and ignored it for futured updates.
In the meantime I had to unfortunately completely reinstall my machine and how I'm kinda hoping this issue got sorted in the meantime

Re: ppp 2.5.0 breaks networkmanager-fortisslvpn and openfortivpn

I recently upgraded all my system (including ppp to version 2.5) and started to receive this error when trying to connect:

/usr/bin/openfortivpn: unrecognized option '--pppd-accept-remote'

The solution was pretty easy, I cloned the AUR package for networkmanager-fortisslvpn, and have commented the line 44 of the PKGBUILD file, that have the following content:

sed -i 's/"--no-routes"/"--pppd-accept-remote"/g' src/nm-fortisslvpn-service.

After perform it, I just reinstalled the package by run makepkg -si, and voilá, the connection started to work again! A complete step by step stay bellow:

# Clone and access the directory with package
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/networkmanager-fortisslvpn.git
cd networkmanager-fortisslvpn

# Search on the file the content i told above and comment the line
vim PKGBUILD

# Compile the package with the option above commented
makepkg -si

I wasn't required to restart the system
