Native VPN client forgets password after reboot (VPNC)
Tracked by Jolla
(In release)

I use the native VPN client in combination with the vpnc package from Nokius to establish vpn with my Fritz.box (https://jollausers.de/blog/entry/80-tipps-tricks-fritzbox-vpn-unter-sailfishos-einrichten/ ). Everything works fine. But after reboot, the client forgets the IPsec Gruppenpasswort (shared secret), Xauth username and Xauth password. Does this happen without Nokius package, too? Is this an SFOS bug? I'm on Hossa 3.0.3.10
Update: I restored with version --dup the native jolla vpnc package and created a new vpnc profile. After reboot the credentials in advanced section are empty. So it is an SFOS issue
Unfortunately, I can not test if it happened the same way without Nokius package. But I as well as other users can confirm that the data is no longer available when the device is restarted.
In addition, there is a security hole in the VPN UI in my opinion. You can read out the VPNC credentials even after saving it. This should be resolved as soon as possible. You do not feel good when someone comes to the device and reads the VPN data and connects to its network. Please Jolla, fix the problem as soon as possible!
And takes over the vpnc package from Nokius. Because only that one can be connected to the AVM Fritz! Box.
