How to connect to VPN provider with bonded NICs

dRock675

I recently added an additional NIC to my computer and have bonded it with my existing LAN port. I am running Linux Mint 17.1 KDE and have always connected to my VPN provider using the Network Manager. Bonding the NICs together has thrown the Network Manager out of the loop so I cannot connect in that way now. Any advice on:

a. Configuring the Network Manager to recognize the bonded NICs so I can use it to connect to my VPN provider or,

b. Connecting to my VPN provider without using the Network Manager,

would be greatly appreciated.

Any advice on:

a. Configuring the Network Manager to recognize the bonded NICs so I can use it to connect to my VPN provider or,

this is simply out of scope of this forum since network manager of each distro has nothing to do with openvpn itself.

b. Connecting to my VPN provider without using the Network Manager,

you can try something like

openvpn --config configfile

or you can start openvpn as a service.
