So I managed to get it working mostly okay through installing openvpn and running sudo (should I actually be running this as sudo?) --config my-openvpn-config.opvn Note: Attempting to use the gnome network settings did not work and complains it couldn't find a vpn connection. Possibly due to how the .opvn file is formatted?
