I am trying to connect establish VPN connection with vpnc but it failed with message

Error: either "to" is duplicate, or "ipid" is a garbage

According to http://blog.nowherelan.com/2011/10/10/vpnc-on-ubuntu-oneiric-error-either-to-is-duplicate-or-ipid-is-a-garbage/ I replaced vpnc-script but got a new error message:

/etc/vpnc/vpnc-script: 658: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ";;")

After that it starts vpnc-connect "in background" but no IP address is assigned:

ifonfig -a:

tun0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

uname -a:

Linux mobile 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Ideas?

Finally I got working version of vpnc-script here http://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/vpnc-scripts.git/blob_plain/4deaaf9a32:/vpnc-script

  • Did you try the GUI way using the network manager?

  • 2lumbric: yes, it doesn't connect.

I saw that this bug was fixed and relased only for Ubuntu Precise and I think you should mark it as affecting you and ask there for a possible solution to the problem in Oneiric (a merge of the released fix in Oneiric or another solution).

  • ok, thanks man, you didn't answer the question directly but your answer leads me to a working version of vpnc-script:

i have the work around for the following error :

step 1: see what you need to do is, firstly take the backup of the vpnc script through the below command :

sudo cp /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script.bck

Step 2: now what you need to do is open the vpnc-script by any editor love to work with(vi, vim , emacs, gedit).

sudo gedit /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script

and remove the content inside it and copy the content below :


#!/bin/sh
# List of parameters passed through environment
#* reason                       -- why this script was called, one of: pre-init connect disconnect
#* VPNGATEWAY                   -- vpn gateway address (always present)
#* TUNDEV                       -- tunnel device (always present)
#* INTERNAL_IP4_ADDRESS         -- address (always present)
#* INTERNAL_IP4_MTU             -- mtu (often unset)

#* INTERNAL_IP4_NETMASKLEN      -- netmask length (often unset)
#* INTERNAL_IP4_NETADDR         -- address of network (only present if netmask is set)
#* INTERNAL_IP4_DNS             -- list of dns servers
#* INTERNAL_IP4_NBNS            -- list of wins servers

#* INTERNAL_IP6_NETMASK         -- IPv6 netmask
#* INTERNAL_IP6_DNS             -- IPv6 list of dns servers
#* CISCO_DEF_DOMAIN             -- default domain name
#* CISCO_BANNER                 -- banner from server
#* CISCO_SPLIT_INC              -- number of networks in split-network-list
#* CISCO_SPLIT_INC_%d_ADDR      -- network address
#* CISCO_SPLIT_INC_%d_MASK      -- subnet mask (for example: 255.255.255.0)
#* CISCO_SPLIT_INC_%d_MASKLEN   -- subnet masklen (for example: 24)
#* CISCO_SPLIT_INC_%d_PROTOCOL  -- protocol (often just 0)
#* CISCO_SPLIT_INC_%d_SPORT     -- source port (often just 0)
#* CISCO_SPLIT_INC_%d_DPORT     -- destination port (often just 0)
#* CISCO_IPV6_SPLIT_INC         -- number of networks in IPv6 split-network-list
#* CISCO_IPV6_SPLIT_INC_%d_ADDR -- IPv6 network address
#* CISCO_IPV6_SPLIT_INC_$%d_MASKLEN -- IPv6 subnet masklen

# FIXMEs:

# Section A: route handling

# 1) The 3 values CISCO_SPLIT_INC_%d_PROTOCOL/SPORT/DPORT are currently being ignored
#   In order to use them, we'll probably need os specific solutions
#   * Linux: iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING <conditions> -j ROUTE --oif $TUNDEV
#       This would be an *alternative* to changing the routes (and thus 2) and 3)
#       shouldn't be relevant at all)
# 2) There are two different functions to set routes: generic routes and the
#   default route. Why isn't the defaultroute handled via the generic route case?
# 3) In the split tunnel case, all routes but the default route might get replaced
#   without getting restored later. We should explicitely check and save them just
#   like the defaultroute
# 4) Replies to a dhcp-server should never be sent into the tunnel

# Section B: Split DNS handling

# 1) Maybe dnsmasq can do something like that
# 2) Parse dns packets going out via tunnel and redirect them to original dns-server

****************************************************************************************

save and close the vpnc-script file.

Step 3: run the vpnc now, you want get the ipid error now.

Note: see if you replace the vpnc-script file as done in above example you will get error because it change the flag set onto the file. So, we just only need to change is the content of the vpnc-script file.

Cheers!!

This issue exists in Ubuntu 20 upgraded from 18. Remove the first line which is commented in the file /etc/resolv.conf file.

  • Can you be more specific? I have systemd-resolved and this does not make any sense to me.
