Comment 15 for bug 1677198

After I fixed the certificate file access (making them world-readable) I have a stable OpenVPN connection.

Switching to network-manager-openvpn and network-manager-openvpn-gnome provided with zesty returns the system to a non-working state.

Switching to the patched packages at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/1681295 gives a stable connection.

I have now chosen to pin the patched packages through

sudo apt-mark hold network-manager-openvpn
sudo apt-mark hold network-manager-openvpn-gnome
