PS- I am using pop os 21.04

jkotra commented 2 years ago

zip the file and put it somewhere (say home)

use ~/client.zip as Configuration Source in settings. where ~ refers to your home directory and client.zip is a zip file containing your .ovpn config file.

Make sure OpenVPN plugin for NM is installed:

sudo apt install network-manager-openvpn
sudo apt install network-manager-openvpn-gnome
