what i tend to do, and im using openvpn very successfully is , use the wizard under mcc for adding the vpn entry, but then
go down to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/vpn.d/openvpn and edit the added file so that it contains the settings i want, not what the wizard adds
and with this its always worked for me.
just answer anything you like for the wizard, dont be too concerned wether its right or not. its whats in the file that counts.
i then use the popup in the kdenetapplet to enable one or more vpn's as i need them, and it pops up and asks me for the password as needed.
I dont use network manager, I have real problems with the way it fights with everything i try to do, and unlike some have reported ive never had any issues with the netapplet.
ill post some working vpn configs.
my vpn server runs on an asus ac56-ac running DWRT this way i keep it off all my other systems, so it runs even if i have a major failure, and thats all the
ac56 does, and as its very low powered device it does not have the overhead of some other machines, although you could set this up on a RPie, or any other arm based machine, DDWRT already has openvpn already configured, all you have to do is add your certs.
But i also use virtually the same config for TorGuard vpn, which is handy is circumventing geoblocking, when im on hols.
posts of configs comming up.
