OpenVPN GUI

A small Linux GUI for importing OpenVPN profiles and connecting or disconnecting them.

Requirements

  • Python 3 with Tkinter
  • openvpn
  • pkexec from Polkit, or sudo, so OpenVPN can create the VPN tunnel

Ubuntu/Debian example:

sudo apt install python3-tk openvpn policykit-1

Run

python3 openvpngui.py

Use

  1. Click Import and choose a .ovpn or .conf file.
  2. Give the profile a friendly name.
  3. Select the profile and click Connect.
  4. Click Disconnect to stop the active tunnel.

Imported profiles are saved in:

~/.config/openvpngui/profiles

The app also copies common relative companion files referenced by the profile, such as ca, cert, key, tls-auth, tls-crypt, pkcs12, and auth-user-pass. Profiles that reference absolute file paths still need those paths to remain available.

Notes

  • Some OpenVPN profiles prompt for username/password in a terminal. For a GUI flow, use a profile with an auth-user-pass file or embedded provider-specific authentication.
  • Closing the window while connected asks whether to disconnect first.
