Hi Jonathan,
I would like to help, but the difference of what happens when it works
and doesn't is seemingly none.
No error messages or anything else is shown: The connection just doesn't
work when I try it. It is why I suspect that if a (background) program
holds a socket open, the kernel can't set the route. Although it reports
the correct route.
This error has also happened when I started Firefox to early and it
checks for updates.
When this error happens, I retry the connection (ctrl+c for openvpn and
run it again). Sometimes I need to retry several (3-4) times, but
usually one retry is enough. I have tested this bug with two different
providers of openvpn-services and there is no difference.
It has of course was easier to help the bug hunting, when the same error
always happens in a sequence.
Do you have any kind of dump program, to report all the status of all
connections, which also reports the true state of the kernel?
This error also exists in Ubuntu 11.04. (I haven't been using any later.)
Best regards,
Patrik
