I've configured VPN for IPVanish.
It works when I connect to it directly in Desktop Mode, but not through TunnelDeck.

The isn't much to add - I've done everything as per the instructions.

Description
The Deck can't connect to WiFi after powering off or rebooting having the VPN (and thus, Enable OpenVPN) active and "Automatically connect to VPN" enable. I have tried to reproduce this issue with "Automatically connect to VPN" disable i haven't been able to.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Enable OpenVPN in the plugin settings.
2. Enable the VPN in the plugins settings.
3. Change to desktop mode, and enable "Automatically connect to VPN" in WiFi settings.
4. Change to gaming mode and reboot and/or power off and turn on again 3-4 times.
5. See error

Version information

• SteamOS Version: 3.4
• Selected Update Channel: Preview

Since the update to steamOS beta 3.4.8 20230508.1 and decky v2.9.0-pre1, the plugin is broken with a (truncated message unfortunately) TypeError: mod?.PanelSelection?.includes

The install script for OpenVPN plugin for NetworkManager trys to install a package from archlinux-mirror/extra but I think this directory was renamed to extra-3.3 so the networkmanager-openvpn.raw file is empty when it's made.

When entering tunneldeck settings, the toggle for OpenVPN support is stuck on and greyed out, leaving my deck in a permanent state where /usr is in read only.

Im having issues getting my Wireguard client config working on my steam deck. I was going to join the discord to reach out for help, but the link is invalid.

I was previously able to enable a wireguard connection I had, but it no longer works.
I can enable it through desktop mode, but when trying through this plugin, nothing happens.

As the title mentions here, installing and enabling the OpenVPN through TunnelDeck locks the /usr directory as a read-only file system, hence breaking any pacman related tasks (like trying to install a package using pacman).

This was due to /usr/.systemd-sysext being completely write-protected, which apparently causes the entire /usr path to be write-protected as well.

I had to disable the OpenVPN in the TunnelDeck settings and uninstall TunnelDeck itself to make it possible to write to the /usr path and use pacman to install important packages for the OS (like gnome-keyring, etc.).

Will you look into this?

I have a working L2TP VPN connection in desktop mode, but Tunnel Deck refuses to show it in the list of available VPN connections. In the past I was able to use this same VPN connection with Tunnel Deck with no issues.

I made sure that the password is shared between all users. tried re-naming and re-adding the connection.
Also performed a clean install of SteamOS, installed all VPN/Network dependencies on the clean OS. The VPN connects, but Tunnel Deck still doesn't show any available VPN connections in the list. Only the 'How to connect' and IPv6 options etc.

Steam OS Channel: Stable
Steam OS Version: 3.4.10
Steam OS Build: 20230831.1
Decky Version: 2.10.4
Tunnel Deck Version: 1.0.2-1

Expected Behavior:
Tunnel Deck toggles enable and disable OVPN connections added in Desktop Mode.

Observed Behavior:
Tunnel deck can see the connections but cannot activate them, enabling the toggle will see the toggle move to the on position but the VPN Connection never connects.

Troubleshooting:
Connections can be successfully enabled when enabled from Desktop Mode and the connection persists when switching back to gaming mode. Tunnel deck can then kill the connection but cannot re-establish. In this state moving to and from Desktop mode is required to enable the connection.

I have to use vpn with 2FA, so my password consists of pin+code from google generator. Thus vpn can only be used in desktop mode.

Plugin is not working at all since one of the latest Steam Deck updates on the Beta branch.

It's not clear to me if this is default behavior, unintended, or even modified by Tunnel Deck at all but I note that when using the "+" under connections to "Import VPN Connection" at the bottom of the list, a standard no-nonsense Wireguard .conf file returns error "failed to import VPN connection: the file to import wasn't a valid OpenVPN client configuration". Is this meant to differentiate between Wireguard and Openvpn? Adding the connection manually as a Wireguard one will still probably work just fine, but this strikes me as inconvenient and slow for adding lots of pre-configured Wireguard config files.

Hi, i set up a nordvpn connection according to information I found online and i appear to be able to enable it in tunneldeck, when closing the options and re-opening, it appears to have disabled itself again. I'm assuming something is going wrong but i'm unable to see any debug information on gaming mode. Hoping for any advice on the issue. :)

Hi,

Thank you for developing TunnelDeck ! Would it be possible to add an auto connect option on boot/resume?

Is there any hope for this project to continue or should we fork it?

Like the title says, I can't find the plugin on the store anymore. Is there a reason why?

When enabling OpenVPN support from TunnelDeck, trying to connect to a vpn in desktop mode gives the error "NetworkManager is missing support for 'openvpn' connections."
Trying to connect from gaming mode seems like it turns on, until you exit and reopen the TunnelDeck plugin showing that it is still disabled.
