Hi, I did something, it's on review: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793746
In either case, any idea of when it might be available? Is there a release schedule for the plugin?
Releases are done infrequently. Also, your distribution might not rebase the package to a new upstream release, and it might not be willing to backport new features in the current release of the distribution. But that depends...
Given that I only need to use the service when taking my laptop out of the office I believe I can live with continuing to use openvpn directly until the plugin supports the <extra-certs> option. I doubt that private tunnel is the only service using this option, so I suspect others are also encountering it and adding support to the plugin should be done at some point.
Maybe it's a pain point for many user. But I never saw a feature request about it, and there is (AFAIK) no open RFE on bugzilla.gnome.org. Be that as it may, it's easy to add. best, Thomas
