openvpn suppprt for proton vpn - kde

[lord_valarian]

I assume that you have installed the pertinent 'openvpn' packages to start with (as per the guide you referenced)?

Show us

zypper se openvpn

Did you get the ProtonVPN config files downloaded? Attempt to configure NetworkManager (assuming that is what you use to manage your network connectivity)? Tell us which steps you've take, or where you are stuck.

How to manually configure OpenVPN for ProtonVPN in Linux
https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-openvpn/

OpenVPN / IKEv2

username and password (used for python cli 'protonvpn init')

selected - TCP - free servers - gnu/linux

Install a Free server configuration file to connect to a specific server in one of the three free locations.

[download all configurations] --> done




It's late, yawn. So, I will be back to check later. (very quiet now)

Thanks for the help...

Not sure if you're using Gnome or KDE, but both GUI's provide for the importing of .ovpn files.

Ignore the app, and focus on manual OpenVPN configuration using NetworkManager.

As I stated, I can't find it in yast-->network settings or clicking on the networking icon in the system tray (clipboard,time,sound,etc)

Clicking on networking icon in system tray.
Networks
active connections.

click --> configure network connections

https://paste.opensuse.org/fc218e28

Nothing in either about openvpn configuration. ??

OPPS, I thought I mentioned that it was KDE-GUI

No KDE-OPENVPN GUI that I could find in opensuse 15.3 - KDE

So, I have all the apps needed to use the 'openvpn' bash command?

'protonvpn c -f' found the fastest server then connected me to it.



I need to create an kde wallet to store all username and passwords.

Do I need to do username and passwords for all 42 openvpn servers?

Setup an openvpn 42 times. ??

Finally, you've found the NM connection editor.

Add a new connection via the '+' button. Scroll down and find 'Import VPN connection...'
