Cannot connect to my workplace VPN

I do not use OpenVPN, and cannot offer any help with your issue.

However, I’ll mention that it likely requires some configuration on your part. Linux isn’t Windows (at the risk of overstating the obvious).

Additional considerations:

  • Perhaps you need to configure your firewall to allow the VPN traffic; OpenVPN will likely have information on that.
  • Did you install the VPN package from a foreign source? OpenVPN is available in the official Manjaro repositories; this package may be more likely to function as expected.
sudo pacman -S openvpn
  • If you are attempting to connect via WiFi, consider a more stable network cable connection to your router (if applicable to your situation)

Please provide the output of:

inxi --admin --verbosity=8 --filter --no-host --width

as this may be helpful for those wishing to offer assistance.

Hi @Hame and welcome to the Manjaro community.

As a new user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements; in particular, the many ways to use the forum to your benefit. To that end, some or all these links will be invaluable:

Last, but not least, the Stable Update Announcements, which you should check frequently for important update related information.

Cheers.
