Ubuntu – Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Network Manager cannot add VPN – greyed out

network-managernetworkingopenvpnvpn

I'm trying to add a VPN to my network, but the option is greyed out.

Screenshot of the greyed-out indicator

I installed network-manager-openvpn but still no luck. Editing my connection does not show any VPN settings or tabs.

I'd appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction!

EDIT: In case anyone else has this issue, the wording "Add A VPN Connection" is super misleading as it's telling you that you need to add a VPN connection, not that you are supposed to click to add one from there.

So select Edit Connections, Add, and then select your VPN from there.
