The remote and local ip gets saved now. But here is the next problem.

I get the following error:

WARNING **: <WARN>  helper_failed(): nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper did
not receive a valid VPN Gateway from openvpn

this error comes from:

nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper.c line 303 (r66)

getenv("trusted_ip") where should this be set?

thanks for your the other fixes!
