NetworkManager

NetworkManager - short NM - is a program to automatically detect and connect to networks by providing options for various configuration.

Setup

NetworkManager can be installed with the networkmanager package on most linux distributions which provides daemon aswell as nmcli a command line interface and nmtui a terminal user interface for configuration. Additionally nm-connection-editor can be installed for a graphical user interface.

Usage

After installation networkmanager.service has to be enabled by the used init-system (for example systemD).

OpenVPN

NetworkManager needs a plugin to work with openvpn configurations. This plugin can be installed with the networkmanager-openvpn package.

OpenVPNs .ovpn files can then be imported by running nmcli connection import type openvpn file <openvpn-file>. Afterwards they can be modified accordingly.
