[opensuse] Connecting to OpenVPN server using NetworkManager
Hi all, I've just setup an IPCop box with OpenVPN. All is done using Zerina addon. After setting up the ACL for a client, Zerina provides a zip file containing: fajar.p12 fajar-TO-IPCop.ovpn From Zerina example, it uses MS Windows' openvpn client, whereas the above files are put into it's config directory and the connection can be initiate immediately. How do I that with NetworkManager?

You have to install either NetworkManager-openvpn-kde (only 10.3) or NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome. Afterwards nm-applet or KNetworkManager should show an option for configuring an OpenVPN connection.

Thanks Helmut, After installing that package, now we can connect to OpenVPN from NetworkManager. Cool :) -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 10:19pm up 1:38, 2.6.18.2-34-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org

Using KVpnc, it will install the certificate from the server. Then make sure that the date and time between the client and the server is correct. Otherwise it won't be able to connect. I've spent several hours because of the date differences :( -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 9:17pm up 0:36, 2.6.18.2-34-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org
