You mean, nm-connection-editor crashes when you try to import your VPN? Is it openvpn? Anyway, it's a bug 
that would need further investigation. 

If importing the VPN configuration fails, you should still be able to use nm-connection-editor to add a new 
VPN connection and configure the values by hand.



I set up my VPN from Hand,

you mean, you connect to VPN without using the VPN plugin for NetworkManager, for example by starting the 
openvpn binary directly?


i connect my VPN and /var/log/syslog it's
spilling over whit error msg:

In 120sek VPN-Connect < 120MB "syslog"


It's another bug in NetworkManager core.

The most serious effect seems to be the flodding of your syslog.
As mitigation for that, you could disable that particular logging...

By editing /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and restart NM.

[logging]
level=INFO
domains=PLATFORM,RFKILL,ETHER,WIFI,BT,MB,DHCP4,DHCP6,DHCP,PPP,WIFI_SCAN,IP4,IP6,IP,AUTOIP4,DNS,VPN,SHARING,SUPPLICANT,AGENTS,SETTINGS,SUSPEND,CORE,OLPC,INFINIBAND,FIREWALL,ADSL,BOND,VLAN,BRIDGE,DBUS_PROPS,TEAM,CONCHECK,DCB,DISPATCH

(beware, that "DEVICE", "ALL" and "DEFAULT" is not in the list of domains).


What should I do so I can use my VPN again?


Investigate the two issues and have them fixed in upstream (if the
issues are there) and in Debian.
What is the package version you have installed? Maybe it's a good idea
to search the bugtracker of Debian for those issues first.

Can you provide the configuration to reproduce the crash? Beware of
stripping sensitive data.




Regarding the second issue, try enabling debug-logging and show relevant logging lines:


[logging]
level=DEBUG
domains=ALL
