Hi All I am not certain if here is the right place to ask this. Forgive me if it is not. Why, if I have a password protected private key, the OpenVPN plug-in demands me to enter the password to enable the save button? I think this is not right. I don't want my password hanging around. If, for instance, my laptop gets stolen, the thief has access to my private data. Saving a password, completely overrides the purpose of a password protected key! How to make Networkmanager ask for the password when activating the VPN? Am I doing something wrong here? Missing something perhaps? Regards Ethy
It depends on the GUI you use. In recent nm-connection-editor, all password entries have an icon attached that allows setting password as "always ask". See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731891 Jirka
