This is a repost from my old blog. First posted in 8/21/2019.

When I first used OpenVPN client, it was set up for me so I'm missing out on some configuration know how.


And now I need to set up OpenVPN on a new computer and I need to save a connection so I can quickly connect to it the next time I log on. In this case, I'm using a v2.x.x OpenVPN client and I can't seem to figure out how to do that.


It turns out that I have to be disconnected from all connections and then select Import > From server.... Then I can enter my connection information and it will be saved and easily accessible just by hovering over it and select Connect...
