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
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
