Hi guys, as the title says looking for a good OpenVPN client for linux. I know OpenVPN 3 exists but it’s a pain to be honest. Edit:I know it is not perfect but I have found that the windscribe VPN Client for Linux supports adding your own VPN config files (both OpenVPN and WireGuard) and has a nice GUI . You don’t need to have a windscribe account to use it either. I don’t know if other VPNs clients also support this or not
Network Manger of KDE is a thing. Managing a buttload of options is still a pain. Been looking for a solution as well.
IDK if it’s Mint specific, but cinnamon desktop has a network management app with native support for VPNs
Thanks I’m using mint too. I’ll give a try
Just in case it helps - I followed this guide to get Mint’s Network Manager working with the Cisco AnyConnect OpenVPN thing (needed it for work) which worked well for me, I guess the steps should be fairly similar for other stuff.
Edit: fat fingers made me type “caze” instead of “case”.
Thanks
Every desktop has a GUI for VPNs, there’s the official OpenVPN client, Tunnelblick builds on Linux, and there’s SoftEther, but I kind of hate it.
The built in DE setups are the most streamlined and clean. Every option uses the same underlying libraries anyway.
I tried network manager but there didn’t seem to be a good way to lock it down and a low of traffic didn’t go through the VPN
