* Add username and password of client. Private key password I believe is the same password just added but I am not certain. (This is where having tested in windows is a good idea in case it doesn't work you can debug confidently).

* As a note, when connected successfully to the vpn, browsing the internet may not work in tandem, therefore go to '''ipv4 settings''' tab when editing the vpn connection. Click on "Routes" and check "Use this connection only for resources on its network". Also try adding 8.8.4.4 to "Additional DNS Servers" (This is google's dns servers).

Copy and paste this into a text editor and save with '''.ovpn''' extension into the "openVPN" folder (the name of the file will be the visible name in network manager to select VPN connection). Make sure user.p12 is replaced with the name of the .p12 (PCKS#12 Bundle) client file downloaded previously. Also check that the '''remote''' (gateway) is the correct server url.
* In fedora ALT+F2 enter ''nm-connection-editor'' and ENTER go to '''Network Connections > VPN '''. Click '''Import''' then in the explorer navigate to the openvpn folder in the home directory and select the .ovpn file created previously. This should automatically load all settings into network manager.
