DESCRIPTION:
Since end of june all my Sailfish devices stopped working over VPN (NordVPN / OpenVPN), while the account still works on my linux Notebook.
Most VPN-cofigs steadily asking for credentials. Some just struggle connecting.
Using mobile network or wifi makes no difference.
Mobile network is setup using “IP” (not “IPv6” or “dual”).
With wifi also IP4 is supported by my ISP - I did book this seperately and I checked again today - I still have an IP4 adress as well (since VPN services tended to only support IP4 in the past).
Data connetion without VPN is still flawless (mobile data & wifi).
Restart device doesnˋt help.
Import freshly downloaded conig file (OpenVPN) doesnˋt help.
Removing all configs and start over doesnˋt help.
Seaching the forum - no hint that this is a common problem.
PRECONDITIONS:
Use VPN with NordVPN after import OpenVPN config file
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- start VPN coonection to NordVPN
…then see actual reult
EXPECTED RESULT:
VPN connection is established
(did work for years)
ACTUAL RESULT:
…
2) connection fails [assumption because of 3) ]
3) already stored credentials are retrieved once more
…then again 2) and 3) and 2) and 3)…
MODIFICATIONS:
nothing special (no patchmanager)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I did not change anything before it sopped working.
Is this possibly related to outdated certificates?
(…since only my SF devices are affected)
