2. Get *.ovpn file.
3. Open the connection manager and export the ovpn file.
4. Right click on the connection and select “connect”.
5. Get an error "Missing VPN plugin".


OBSERVED RESULT
Error message "Missing VPN plugin".


EXPECTED RESULT

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

You are missing the openvpn plugin for NetworkManager.

The error message has meanwhile been updated to make this clear and offers to install the necessary parts. See https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-nm/-/merge_requests/102 and https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-nm/-/merge_requests/194
