Tray icon says I'm not connected but I actually am
I have successfully created and connected to a VPN using the tray icon but after a timeout period the tray icon notifies me that I am not connected. I am on Ubuntu 11.10 and connecting to a openswan-
In the source code to the program it appears that there are some gateway checks prior to issuing a "Connected" message. Looking at /etc/ppp/
I'm not really concerned with having a default route to the internet across the vpn, though having the option would be nice. I just need the split tunneling functionality. I have tried adding the split tunneling through the tray icon but I get the same results. As a temporary workaround for the issue I am manually adding a route via "route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev ppp0" to enable access to the remote network and then I am killing pluto and xl2tpd after I am done.
Sometimes these errors appear in the connection log but when they do the connection still works. I can provide additional documentation as requested.
