Sometimes, when you log into gmail on netsurf, google thinks that you are a hacker, so that you can't access gmail. Maybe something is not designed for the Pi?
I'm happy to help.

Thats not what i ment, i ment the 'ifplugd' disconnects wifi when i plugin a network cable. OpenVPN uses a virtual network 'tun0'.
If i connect it virtual puts in a network cable. I don't want to turn it off!

Have a look in /etc/default/ifplugd (it's just a text file). If HOTPLUG_INTERFACES is set to all, try replacing "all" with just "eth0".

That should (although I've not tested it) stop ifplugd meddling with your WiFi - of course it also stops the WiFi hotplug function, so don't unplug it!
