To begin, yes I’m aware that openvpn can be set up via terminal to create a tunnel for VPN. I’m purely interested in using this specific GUI interaction.
In the GUI Network Settings there is a VPN section. I presume this is for use as a client. If I choose “Add VPN” it asks to import a file with no other options. I’m interested in how these files are written and the expected extension for this case.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I’d appreciate it.
(.opvpn files result in an error.)
That’s not CasaOS. That’s whatever Linux distro you installed. It has nothing to do with CasaOS.
Ah, thank you. I’ll find that board.
What OS did you install?
You can install “NetworkManager” modules/add-ons from your package manager to allow the use of OpenVPN config files. It just depends on what OS you’re actually running.
I find the name CasaOS to be extremely misleading, as it’s not an OS, and doesn’t even manage an OS.
sudo apt install network-manager-openvpn-gnome might work.
If that doesn’t install what you need, then sudo apt search networkmanager
