Hi, on mac and win client I use the great Viscosity app to connect to OPNSense openvpn server.

On linux (Ubuntu) I tried to import the config (exported as archive) with the built-in Gnome NetworkManager OpenVpn plug-in but always i get the error that the config file is not compatible.

If i try to run this config from terminal with the command "openvpn --config" it works.

How I can edit the autogenerated config file to be able to work with Network Manager?


It should be easier to copy the values into the network manager, however if a field is missing, it might be not compatible with your server.

Already tried but i not work. Maybe NM requires some files and fields that in the exported archive are missing, like the CA Certificate (tried added it manually but no success).
