Ubuntu – Ubuntu 16.04 OpenVPN

16.04openvpnvpn

When I choose the Connection Type in VPN Connections, I have only PPTP and I can't find OpenVPN, but I already installed it via terminal with the command sudo apt-get install openvpn easy-rsa

Why I can't find it?

Best Answer

To get the VPN connection to show up in Network Manager, ensure that all these packages are installed:

network-manager-openvpn
network-manager-openvpn-gnome
network-manager-pptp
network-manager-vpnc

It may be overkill but it works.

Even with this, it worked a little flakey on 16.04. One of my PCs threw an error when I tried to open the .ovpn file. I had to configure it manually. On a different PC it worked OK.
