I have an openvpn config file that works fine with openvpn. (ubuntu
lucid beta) As far as I can tell there is no way to create a like

export, but it doesn't look enough like mine to work.
Which options?

I suspect there will always be a new option to chase.
Probably, but at some point we reach the set of options that 95% of
people use. There are seriously so many options with openvpn that it's
not funny, and the program is completely incapable of auto-negotiating
them, which is also not funny. It's downright sad.
Here is mine:
dev tun
remote 127.0.0.1 41927 tcp-client
proto tcp-client
ifconfig 192.168.56.2 192.168.56.1
route 0.0.0.0 128.0.0.0
route 128.0.0.0 128.0.0.0
socket-flags TCP_NODELAY
ping 10
dhcp-option DNS 192.168.56.1
There is no encryption, data is sent in cleartext. This is appropriate
for use with Azilink on Android phones.
The only thing I can see that's not yet supported is the no encryption
part, which (not to be pedantic) isn't really a VPN. But I suppose
that's something we can add.

Thanks for the info Dan.
On Ubuntu Lucid Beta, there are some issues saving other options. I was
going to attempt to hack up the xml and take out the key/user/pass. Do
you think this would work?
I wonder how easy it would be to have an ad-hoc sort of connection in
nm. Where nm would not care about much other that running a start and
stop script and telling dbus networking is up.
For Azilink users:
If you wish to use dbus-aware apps like Empathy, I've been successful
now with /etc/init.d/network-manager stop.
