GargoyleWondering if anyone can help out with an issue I have with a VPN. It's a cisco anyconnect VPN and it's all setup in NetworkManager and "works fine" with one small gotcha - I have to immediately ping a host inside the VPN and leave that ping running. If I don't start the ping withing 2-3 seconds or I stop the ping for more than 2-3 seconds then no VPN traffic will flow. It doesn't disconnect, etc. The traffic just goes down some black10:10
Gargoylehole!10:10
GargoyleI'm all out of inspiration as to what to search for to find possible answers!10:11

daftykinsGargoyle: most VPN configurations have a keep-alive parameter to do that for you11:20
Gargoyledaftykins: Yeah. I can't find anything like that in the config options in the gui or the related file in /etc/NetworkManager11:33

daftykins'dead peer detection' or DPD packets seems relevant11:39
GargoyleHmmm. DPD triggers after about 30 seconds, then I get a fresh: "Established DTLS connection (using GnuTLS). Ciphersuite (DTLS0.9)-(RSA)-(AES-256-CBC)-(SHA1)." For 2 or 3 seconds after that, I can launch a new ping and it will stay open. The second I stop pinging it's dead again.12:07
daftykinsdid you have a connection profile to supply to make that work, or just credentials to enter once the openconnect 'addon' for networkmanager was installed? because the above link has a parameter for keepalive that might be missing12:08
GargoyleJust enetered creds once IIRC.12:09
daftykinshmm might be some files related to the package then, where a systemwide setting lives12:09
czajkowskidaftykins: hmm not sure what the ~ config directory rename?12:30
czajkowskimeans again?12:30
daftykinsskype will store some configuration in your home directory, ~ being /home/username - so finding that folder and renaming it (whilst Skype is closed), so the program can't find it, is a good test12:36
czajkowskiah12:39
czajkowskidaftykins: how do you know these unusal tricks :)12:39
daftykinsah they're all highly conventional, there has to be some per-user config for programs, on Windows it's C:\Users\<username>\AppData\ or %appdata%\, same deal as anything hidden under ~ on Linux12:42
daftykinssome hide it in the 'hidden' dot folder of .config - others elsewhere, since there's no consistency in open source land ;D12:42
czajkowskicause that would be logical right12:46
czajkowskiwould love to know why it went hideys in the first place when it just worked12:46
daftykinsMicrosoft seem to be on a mission to ruin Skype so everyone leaves, lately xD12:47
daftykinsi just got updated to v8, the single window design and no ability to turn off emoticons is evil :(12:47
zmoylan-piit _is_ an ms product... :-)12:49
