OPENvpn settings

[LisaMT]

I've been using openvpn for a while fine.  Today I was having a client issue and found out the way clients are setup has been VERY much changed.

Under VPN/client export I see my original vpn setting called 'LisaVPNclient' where I can export it.  What I don't find is a way to EDIT that client settings.

Google says opnsense now uses 'instances' for clients, so I started another client in there, but when I go to export it, the new instance does not show up. 
So, where do we now export these new client 'instance'? 
How can I edit existing clients that are show on the export page?

Not clear, what exactly you're requesting here.
Do you run an OpenVPN server or a client? Both are configured in instances.

You cannot export clients, but only client config files to connect to servers you've set up.

My opnsense is a server, and when I travel I can connect to the OpenVPN server with my OpenVPN client config.  All using Ubuntu  24.04. 
Keep in mind the OpenVPN still works fine, but in Opnsense there's no longer a way to generate client configs and export them.  YES I can create a new client config as an 'instance', but there doesn't seem to be a way to export that into a file that can be imported into NetworkManager.
In the previous opnsense version the client config/export worked great.

I can export client configs perfectly fine from VPN: OpenVPN: Client Export.

Could it be that your OpenVPN server is still under legacy config?
If so you should recreate the OpenVPN server with the modern design and remove the os-openvpn-legacy plugin.
