NM is a complete total waste of disk space for VPN. Why? To make it connect, you need one more critical option in the openvpn configuration file to meet the security level of the openvpn server. Does NM allow you to put it in? Oh hells bells! "We do not allow users to just add any odd configuration option - that's too dangerous, even as root, we need to nanny users to prevent them from shooting themselves in the foot." We know what's best for you(TM). Dickheads.
