The error message is not helpful because of bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790770#c1 You might get a better message with nmcli connection import type openvpn file "$FILENAME" and maybe that already tells you what's wrong. > In my terminal window I get: [snip] all this information is not relevant, because import is solely done by the user application that reads the .ovpn file and creates a corresponding connection profile in NetworkManager compatible format Commonly it's one of nmcli, nm-connection-editor, gnome-control-center, or plasma-nm. Can you be more precise about which application you are using to import the ovpn file? The information that matters most is the ovpn file itself and the version of the nm-openvpn plugin that performs the import. Please send the ovpn file, but make sure to sanitize private information (without changing the meaning of the file too much). best, Thomas
