I'm trying to add a vpn connection through the openconnect and using the gui. Even though it says that I am connected, I can't access any of the websites on the network I'm trying to connect to.

However, if I run this command in the terminal, I am able to access the websites.

sudo openconnect blah.google.blah

So it's probably the sudo access? How can I add that to the gui?

Enable the proposed repositories

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed

then you can install 

sudo apt-get install network-manager-openconnect network-manager-openconnect-gnome

This will allow you to configure them via the NetworkManager GUI.

  • (I'm on Ubuntu 14.04) - I enabled that repository, then ran the command you suggested but I get "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed". I then tried `sudo apt-get install network-manager-openconnect/xenial-proposed network-manager-openconnect-gnome/xenial-proposed` but got `E: Release 'xenial-proposed' for 'network-manager-openconnect' was not found E: Release 'xenial-proposed' for 'network-manager-openconnect-gnome' was not found` – David Doria Sep 27 '16 at 00:48
  • 14.04 is not xenial its trusty , you need to edit your apt configuration – Amias Sep 27 '16 at 09:23
  • Oops, you're right, but it still didn't work: `sudo apt-get install network-manager-openconnect/trusty-proposed network-manager-openconnect-gnome/trusty-proposed E: Release 'trusty-proposed' for 'network-manager-openconnect' was not found E: Release 'trusty-proposed' for 'network-manager-openconnect-gnome' was not found` – David Doria Sep 27 '16 at 11:44
  • Note that this is the line in my sources.list `deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-proposed universe multiverse restricted main` – David Doria Sep 27 '16 at 11:45
  • just to check you have done and apt-get update since adding the new repos haven't you ? – Amias Sep 27 '16 at 13:27
  • Yes, I did. This is what I have installed: `dpkg -l | grep '^ii' | grep network-manager-openconnect ii network-manager-openconnect 0.9.8.0-1ubuntu2 amd64 network management framework (OpenConnect plugin) ii network-manager-openconnect-gnome 0.9.8.0-1ubuntu2 amd64 network management framework (OpenConnect plugin GNOME GUI)` – David Doria Sep 28 '16 at 00:30
  • Any other ideas? – David Doria Oct 04 '16 at 13:05
