Hello.
Tell me please. There is a machine with debian 10th.
Is it possible using Network-Manager and its nmtui or nmcli utilities to automatically
connect the openvpn client to the server when the machine boots? Is it possible to do with only NM utilities without openvpn services and other crutches? (does not ask for a password when connecting, already fed, and the autoconnect yes properties and another connection.something from the NM connection properties do not give any results)
(manually the connection is also established via nmcli and nmtui)
