explicit-exit-notify option not supported

Disconnecting the OpenVPN client, NetworkManager is not sending the SIGTERM[soft,remote-exit] to the OpenVPN server, like other clients are doing. The OpenVPN server then tries to reconnect to the client.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

Disconnecting the OpenVPN client NetworkManager is not sending the SIGTERM[soft,remote-exit] to the OpenVPN server, like other clients are doing.

This behaviour is because the explicit-exit-notify option is currently not supported.

The OpenVPN server then tries to reconnect to the client:
Thu Jan 23 15:19:34 2020 ubuntu-to-server/XX.XX.XX.XX:44634 [ubuntu-to-server] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting
Thu Jan 23 15:19:34 2020 ubuntu-to-server/XX.XX.XX.XX:44634 SIGUSR1[soft,ping-restart] received, client-instance restarting

Please enable this option!

Thanks!
