You are correct. Thanks. I was so puzzled by this. I am using KDE. Possibly the network manager interface is different. This is what I did. Imported the openvpn config file into networkmanger. It makes a connection, it times out, and no amount of debugging gives any more hint.
I edit the openvpn file, and extract the key block into a file. It is the key block in between <tls-crypt> and </tls-crypt> so my text file looks like this: -----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1----- 92e2de5ae643729863zzzz4a0ebe952 . . . cc05zxzxczczxxczxzxczxce902b498a5 -----END OpenVPN Static key V1----- I save it as blabla.key Then I opened the openvpn connection imported into nm, choose Advanced... on the VPM (openvpn) tab,Choose TLS Settings, and change only two things Mode is TLS-Crypt and Key File i give the path of the key file created just before. And immediately, the connection worked ** Attachment added: "2019-11-28_21-32.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/1847144/+attachment/5308442/+files/2019-11-28_21-32.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847144 Title: network-manager-openvpn config import ignores tls-crypt section To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/1847144/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
