Hi,

I am running Mint21 Cinnamon and have a problem with an OpenVPN file.
The .ovpn-files comes from OPNsense and will not be imported by the
network-manager.

Via GUI and import:
"The VPN-Plugin cannot import ..."

Via nmcli
"... no valid ovpn-file. --ca must not be in PKCS#12 format"

Only thing I found so far, is a tricky update for the networkmanager
from 1.8.18 to some 1.10 version by temporarely adding some other
repsitories.

I would like to avoid that.

Any hints?

Jörg

Can you get the CA Cert in a different format from them? As I recall,
the expectation is PEM (but it's been ages since I've run an oVPN server
myself).
