In advanced settings for openvpn there is the option "protocol type". This option has 3 points: "Standard", "TCP", "TCP".

Please correct the options in "Standard", "TCP", UDP". Thx.

Update 26.6.18: I think the error is a translation error (in german) (see comment)

My openvpn config says "problems with connection" and stay inactiv. In the .ovpn file is the option "proto udp".
[update] now running after changing permissions for client.up / client.down files. I had to start openvpn manual in terminal to see the error messages. In settings under details for my vpn I found "protocol udp" but on the config page the protocoll is shown as "tcp".

I had to figure out some likely unrelated issues after upgrading both the server and the client after last time I needed my VPN, but in my case I do have UDP available in "Protocol type". Both the server and client configs have "proto udp", and the setup works just fine. I have openvpn-2.4.5-1.3.1 as well as vpnc-0.5.3-1.2.1 installed from jolla repo in case that counts (I'm not sure what the vpnc package even does).

@zagrimsan: You are right. I think the error is a translation error (in german).Look at /usr/share/sailfish-vpn/openvpn/advanced.qml. There is a "ConfigComboBox" id "openVpnProto" with this values: "_default", "udp", "tcp-client"

I can confirm that by switching the language on my device to German, I could reproduce the issue. So, it is a translation bug.
