Is it possible to connect multiple openvpn connections in Ubuntu via NetworkManager? After all, this is done through the terminal without any problems, by launching several clients.

At the moment, this cannot be done through network-manager-gui.
But there is such a possibility using nmcli :

$ nmcli -p con

Connecting using UUID:

$ nmcli con up uuid 20e9be08-8e79-49a8-8f85-ac5ea36954eb
$ nmcli con up uuid 8334885f-7abd-451d-8d7a-b6feb75491a7

Connection using name:

$ nmcli con up id secretplace
$ nmcli con up id usaproxy
