Openvpn client setup on Ubuntu 9.10

[easybeat]

Hi

I have a problem how to setup openvpn connection in network-manager on 9.10.

If I import the config file there are no settings coming in.

Does anybody have a tip or trick how to do it?

Thanks

I didn't have any problems on Ubuntu Lucid. I downloaded client bundle for Linux and imported it in Network Management Applet. Everything worked fine.

There are two ways:

In network-manager you can manually enter (browse to them) three things that are missing (user cert, ca cert, key)

Or you can install openvpn (sudo apt-get install openvpn), detach "vpn" files to some directory, cd to that directory and just type

sudo openvpn your_conf_file.conf

that should do the trick.

But please let me know have you succeeded, because for me in 9.10 VPN connection drops after minut or two.

Also for the second case you might need to install package bridge-utils.
