=== Network-Manager integration (GNOME) === | |||
If you want to allow the desktop user to manually set up and activate/deactivate VPN connections (on the GNOME desktop) you should install the OpenVPN plugin for NetworkManager, e.g. | |||
<syntaxHighlight lang="nix"> | |||
{ pkgs, ... }: | |||
{ | |||
networking.networkmanager = { | |||
enable = true; | |||
plugins = with pkgs; [ | |||
networkmanager-openvpn | |||
]; | |||
}; | |||
} | |||
</syntaxHighlight> | |||
NOTE: Some VPN providers (e.g. NordVPN) require you to generate and use '''service credentials''' (i.e. ''not'' your usual email+password!) for a manual setup like this. Your provider's user account should have an option to create them. | |||
