System and Network configuration • Re: Network-Manager OpenVPN connection using username and passwort fails to work

OpenVPN works as expected in Debian 12.
Check if the required packages are installed:

Of course I have installed all these packages.

If you have valid ovpn file open Network Connections in the Network Manager, click "+" button, Add VPN, Import from file..., enter User name and Password, restart service NetworkManager.
Otherwise it is possible to connect from command line

Code:

sudo openvpn path-to-file.ovpn

Yes i know, and the connection is working directly through OpenVPN. The only thing that is not working with the NM is an connection to an OpenVPN server that uses certificates and a username and password to authenticate. This seems to be a problem with the Network Manager 1.42 and 1.46 but not 1.36 and 1.48. The Network Manager v. 1.42 used in Debian 12 seems to have problems with VPNC and ForiSSLVPN too.

My problem is not that i cannot connect to servers (i can always use the terminal to do so), but that i want t know how to fix this problems in Debian 12. The only solution now seems to be to upgrade the Network Manager to version 1.48 or downgrade it to version 1.36.
