  • VPN not reconnecting after suspend

    From Laurens Kils-Huetten@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 19 18:38:13 2023
    Hi all,

    I'm having the following problem on my linux
    laptop: I use NM to connect to the wifi and the
    strongswan plugin to connect to a VPN. However after a
    suspend, while the wifi does reconnect, the VPN does not.
    I've noticed this problem on Arch Linux as well as on a
    fresh Debian 12 install.

    Also, most of the time reconnecting the VPN fails,
    reporting about missing VPN secrets. Only after I kill
    charon-nm will the VPN reconnect.

    Any ideas what to look into?

    Chees,

    Did you enable in the settings of the WiFi connection that the VPN
    tunnel will be established?

    No, I just set the VPN connection to autoconnect. Amazing, never thought
    about having to change a setting for the wifi connection. But hey, apparently it works!

    Thank you so much, hope it holds up in the field ;-)
