Hi Ludo',

I was able to add an .ovpn openvpn file (the gui nm-connection-editor
also seems to work), and it shows up in the nm-applet, but when I try to
connect to it as a regular user nothing happens. (Though I've used NM
with VPN successfully on another distro.)

What is a recommended/working way of using OpenVPN on GuixSD?  

cheers,
  —Ben
