OpenVPN and Kubuntu

[sevenseeker]

Hello,
I am trying to use OpenVPN to connect to work. I have tried kvpnc and network manager but both are not working.

With kvpnc I import the profile, and ensure the path to the keys are good.

However, when I try to connect the status stays at "connecting." I never receive any error. The only message printed to the log is, "openpvn started"

I have tried using knetworkmanager but I never can get to the VPN configuration screens. When I select "Configure VPN" nothing happens.

I need this to connect to work and can only use Windows with the OpenVPN client.

Please help me out with this, as I really do not want to depend on Windows.

Thanks in advance.

This might help with getting knetworkmanager to handle your VPN. Use it all the time with no problems.
