How can I use pfSense OpenVPN profiles with Linux Network Manager
-
Has anyone figured out how to make pfSense OpenVPN profiles work with Linux Network Manager? The import doesn't seem to work properly.
I can connect using the command line as shown in this post:
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/122265/gnome-network-manager-pfsense-openvpn-server-client-export
and am experiencing the same error.
I am trying to make a setup that is user friendly for a non-technical relative, so I would like to make it a "click the box" type of experience similar to connecting to WiFi.

I have, but it's been so long, I've forgotten what I did. -

I used the wizard to create the certificate and then imported it into the network manager. I just followed the steps and it wasn't that difficult.

Which steps? Where?

There is a wizard under OpenVPN. You start that and follow the steps. That's all I did and it works fine.

Can someone at least give me an idea of which exported profile I should be using.
