I am new to linux, but have some experience with linux when there is a GUI.
I am trying to configure a ubuntu server installation to connect to a VPN using openvpn, i have done this once before in Mint OS but i had a GUI there to do so.
I have some instructions on what information i need to add where, but...without the GUI i really do not know where the information goes.
Note: I am trying to use this ubuntu server as a client to connect to my VPN.
The instuctions i have are:
"
1. Open Terminal
2. Type: sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn
3. Press Y to continue.
4. Type: sudo restart network-manager
5. Download [name] certificate (CA) by typing: sudo wget -O /etc/openvpn/[cert name].ca.crt http://website/[cert name.crt
6. Click on the Network Manager icon, expand VPN Connections, and choose Configure VPN
7. A Network Connections window will appear with the VPN tab open. Click Add. 8. A Choose A VPN Connection Type window will open. Select OpenVPN in the drop-down menu and click Create...
9. In the Editing VPN connection window, enter the following:
Connection name: VPN
Gateway: [website here]
Type: select Password
User name: [username]
Password: [password]
CA Certificate: browse and select this file: /etc/openvpn/[cert name].crt
11. Click Save.

So thats what i have guys...any help would be most appreciated. I think i have covered all my bases
