In KDE I have a button "Import" which can be used to import VPN connection from .ovpn file.

How to do it in elementary OS Loki?

  • You will need to install OpenVPN support before you do anything else. In Freya this used to involve installing the networkmanager-openvpn package, however I'm not sure whether this step is required for Loki or if it comes preinstalled.

In Loki, openvpn and networkmanager-openvpn are already installed.

To import an *.ovpn, you need to make sure you have certificate files separate from the *.ovpn.

Then go to System Settings -> Network -> VPN. Click the "+", then in the window that pops up, click on "Add".

In the dropdown you'll see "Import a Saved VPN connection".
