On the latest 2.7.0 firmware OpenVPNConnect crashes the WiFi pineapple when starting the VPN connection. This could be caused by the OpenVPN related patch or just by general firmware updates introducing an incompatible feature of some sort. Since this issue occurred upon a firmware upgrade, it is unlikely the core app itself is broke, but that one of dependencies needs to be re-worked.

Root cause analysis of the bug is still under investigation:

  • Investigate OpenVPN CLI issues - Winner
  • Investigate firmware upgrade impact
  • Investigate core application for breaking features

The issue is caused by a kernel panic when establishing an openvpn tunnel, which means the issue is with openvpn CLI itself, not the pineapple module. Good news, module works, bad news, the underlying tool it provides a GUI for is broken. This was claimed to have been patched in firmware 2.7.0 with a patch reading:
Fixed an issue where OpenVPN would cause a kernel panic upon establishing tunnel.

But at least on the pineapple nano, seems to still cause a kernel panic.
