2 OpenVPN configurations

2 OpenVPN configurations

[Pradana Adrinusa AUMARS]

I need to have 2 OpenVPN configurations: one personal config, another
for university.

The Guix manual does not specify how to have 2 at the same time.

Is the only work-around to this issue 2 different system configs?

Thanks.

Did you try network-manager-openvpn instead of using a system config?  I
think this will allow you to have multiple configurations. The system
stuff is more of an always-on type of deal.

Yes, I already have tried using nmcli with my .opvn file.
I run
$ nmcli c import type openvpn file config.ovpn
and it prints
Unknown VPN plugin "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn"

I already have openvpn and network-manager-openvpn installed.
Maybe it's an issue with the file itself?

Are they both installed in the global profile from your OS config and
not in your user profile? Also do you have the network-manager-service
correctly configured to use the openvpn plugin¹? I'd offer suggestions
about setting that up but it's not something that I've used before.
