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

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
Network Manger of KDE is a thing. Managing a buttload of options is still a pain. Been looking for a solution as well.
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.
Official client has no GUI and that was ok if their terminal app wasn’t so bad. I’ll try the rest thanks
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
