[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#734004: network-manager-openvpn: NM-Openvpn ignores pushed IPV6 addresses/routes

Fri Jan 3 00:11:29 UTC 2014

Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 0.9.8.4-1
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I'd try to connect to an openvpn server which is pushing ipv6 (and ipv4)
addresses to clients. When using openvpn on commandline ("openvpn --config
client.conf") the interface got a IPV6 address from server assigned which is
full working. When doing the same from within Network-Manager the ipv4 is
assigned but not the ipv6 address/route

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
      Imported an existing working openvpn client configuration to network
manager openvpn module and created a config from scratch.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
      Working VPN with just an ipv4 address assigned from openvpn server. In
appended log you'll see, that it is real ignoring ipv6.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     A working openvpn connection having an IPV4 and an IPV6 address assigned
like running openvpn directly
