Hi My VPN provider has sent me a configuration file which contains some settings. I want to implement these settings in my VPN Connection in NetworkManager. Kindly help me to identify these settings in NetworkManager: dev tun proto udp resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun client verb 3 auth-user-pass
This is an openvpn configuration. You can use it with openvpn program directly, or (as you are on the NetworkManager mailinglist) use the nm-openvpn plugin. Make sure you have the plugin installed, it's called something like NetworkManager-openvpn. Probably your distribution has a second package like NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome. Install both. Then you could use nm-connection-editor to import the openvpn config. Start nm-connection-editor. Then "Add" and "import a saved VPN connection" and select the settings above (having them in a text file)... If importing doesn't work you can also use nm-connection-editor to create such a configuration by creating a new openvpn typed connection and configure it appropriately... Good luck, Thomas
