This is how you can take an openvpn .ovpn config file and extract the certificates/key required to import the profile into NetworkManager.

OpenVPN .ovpn manipulation.

This is how you can take an OpenVPN .ovpn config file and extract the certificates/keys required to import the profile into NetworkManager.

  • Download the .ovpn file. Save it somewhere you can store it permanently (I use ~/.vpn).
  • Copy from between <ca> tags into ca.crt, remove <ca> tags.
  • Copy from between <cert> tags into client.crt, remove <cert> tags.
  • Copy from between <key> tags into client.key, remove <key> tags.
  • Copy from between <tls-auth> tags into ta.key, remove <tls-auth> tags.
  • Remove the line "key-direction 1"
  • Above "# -----BEGIN RSA SIGNATURE-----" insert the following lines.
