Is it possible to have vpn set up in gnome on a guixsd installation?  I 
am trying this and having some trouble.

I have added the openvpn and network-manager-openvpn packages to my 
config.scm file.

I also set the services as follows:

   (services (cons* (gnome-desktop-service)
                    (modify-services %desktop-services
                       (upower-service-type config =>
                         (upower-configuration
                           (inherit config)
                           (use-percentage-for-policy? #t)
                           (percentage-low 30)
                           (percentage-critical 27)
                           (percentage-action 25)
                           (critical-power-action 'hybrid-sleep)))
                       (network-manager-service-type config =>
                         (network-manager-configuration
                           (inherit config)
                           (vpn-plugins network-manager-openvpn)))
                       (udev-service-type config =>
                         (udev-configuration
                           (inherit config)
                           (rules (cons* android-udev-rules
                                         (udev-configuration-rules 
config))))))))

when I reconfigure with this, I get a failure to build with the 
following log file:

Backtrace:
            2 (primitive-load "/gnu/store/s6cbypbzini2qk7cizjpvv2gx02?")

-> this should be
                             (vpn-plugins '(network-manager-openvpn))))

Short answer: not via the guix configuration - it is broken at the moment.

You might be succesful with Bitmask(1) via PYPI, or manually setting up 
openvpn.

Ok, thanks.  I may wait until it becomes un-broke.
