Unfortunately, some of these utilities break networking when using OpenVPN. One in particular will monitor all of the network interfaces, and select an interface (based on some type of prioritizing -- I can't remember) to be active if it is available. It will shut off all other interfaces except the one that is active. I have observed the 802.11 interface come up, the OpenVPN tunnel just makes its connection, and then all networking comes to a stop. The idiot-proof networking utility had just disabled the radio interface when it discovered the VPN tunnel (TAP interface) was active. <sigh> My answer was (and is) to simply disable the laptop manufacturer's networking utility and take a more manual approach (relying on the Atheros or Intel client managers with profiles). It's still relatively simple, and doesn't break everything with OpenVPN. Hope this helps, Brett -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) iD8DBQFDRpDgYtvO825icboRAq9VAJ9SVnM0RLRFY12ns/zAjlT/PXuw2ACePK/V qbPkkcCNzv9roA5snoEnJgE= =wFwh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ____________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users |
