Lonnie Lee Best (launchpad-startport) wrote : Additional VPN Breaks First VPN

When I add only one L2TP VPN profile to gnome-control-center's Network > VPN setting, it works fine.

However, if I add a 2nd L2TP VPN, the 2nd L2TP VPN, not only doesn't work, but it corrupts the first L2TP VPN so that it too stops working.

Furthermore, if I remove 2nd L2TP VPN profile (that corrupted the first L2TP VPN) this does NOT repair the corruption to the first L2TP VPN, it remains corrupted.

Additionally, removing all VPN profiles and re-adding the first one back, doesn't repair the corruption. Rebooting and adding them back doesn't work either.

The only thing that works, that I've found, is completely reinstalling Ubuntu 19.10. Please advise better workarounds than reinstalling.

Here's what's in the syslog on a failed VPN Connection attempt:
