Current Behavior

• Docker: Docker version 20.10.25+dfsg1, build b82b9f3

Anything else?

No response

ah, was wondering why I was getting a few hundred error emails today from my Synology Nas about this

[ktetzlaff]

@penyuan provided a workaround in #305 (comment) (which is better than what I described in the linked comment above):

FWIW, I downloaded the Mullvad files from the previous commit:
https://github.com/haugene/vpn-configs-contrib/tree/a189d8f552ff48db16e85e114b743b2fc8b2d06d/openvpn/mullvad

Then, followed the official docs to use it as a custom provider:
https://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/supported-providers/#using_a_local_single_ovpn_file_from_a_provider

And for now it works. But this is a stopgap measure, and I hope that the problem will be fixed through an upcoming merge/commit.

Having exact same problem with "Options error" message.
Replaced the fr_all.ovpn in /data/docker/transmission-openvpn/vpn-configs-contrib/openvpn/mullvad/ with previous version https://github.com/haugene/vpn-configs-contrib/blob/a189d8f552ff48db16e85e114b743b2fc8b2d06d/openvpn/mullvad/fr_all.ovpn and it works for now until next update.

I created a pull request to roll back these changes, while keeping the IP addresses in place. Please feel free to test and provide feedback on it: #312

[ajakate]

Another workaround that was pretty easy...

I think this specific error Unrecognized option ... service is only in the _all configs. I switched my mullvad OPENVPN_CONFIG from se_all to se_sto and that got me up and running fine

@haugene @wickedyoda if you have time to review this it would help out a whole heap of us who have broken Transmission clients 🙏

Have merged in #312
