Can someone help, i have been having trouble connected with my home universities vpn, for past 15-20days, it is an openvpn connection, so i have been using networkmanager-openvpn to import my config files, and they have worked previously, but for last 15-20 days i get connection timed out, all certificates used are correct, i have tried to connect on cli,

Connection activation failed: The connection attempt timed out

and it suggests to check journalctl logs (nothing erroneous i could find) i am also able to connect with this vpn with my phone (with openvpn official app with same files), and also i am able to connect to proton's vpns with my laptop, so i guess my device is not completely broken, i have tried to redownload my certificate files, recreating vpn profile, reinstalling networkmanager, nothing worked

@sga I think you have to ask an admin of the university because a timeout is usually a problem on the server side.

but it works over on my phone, so something has to be borked over my end, i have also recently renewed my certificates, that may have something to do with it, since vpn has also not been working pretty much since then
