nmcli-connection: Create a VPN connection using OpenVPN from a OVPN file.
$ nmcli connection import type ${openvpn} file ${path-to-vpn_config-ovpn}
try on your machine
This command is using the nmcli tool, which is a command-line interface for managing NetworkManager connections in Linux. It is specifically importing an OpenVPN connection.
Let's break down the command:
nmcli: The command to invoke the nmcli tool.connection import: Indicates that we want to import a new connection.type ${openvpn}: Specifies the type of connection being imported, in this case, OpenVPN. The${openvpn}is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual value.file ${path-to-vpn_config-ovpn}: Specifies the file path to the OpenVPN configuration file (.ovpn). The${path-to-vpn_config-ovpn}is a placeholder for the actual file path.
To use this command, you need to replace ${openvpn} with the word "openvpn" (without quotes), and ${path-to-vpn_config-ovpn} with the actual file path to your OpenVPN configuration file.
Once executed, this command will import the specified OpenVPN connection and make it available for use in NetworkManager.
