OpenVPN NetworkManager Split

Because NetworkManager can't read the new way of OpenVPN to create client config files.

This little tool will split the file.ovpn into 4 files (.ca.pem, .cert.pem, .key.pem, .tls-auth.pem) so you can directly link them in your NetworkManager configuration UI.

How to use

Download your .ovpn file, then

ovpnsplit file.ovpn

and you should have

file.ovpn.ca.pem
file.ovpn.cert.pem
file.ovpn.key.pem
file.ovpn.tls-auth.pem

Configure NetworkManager

Add a new network

Import a .ovpn file

Select the file

Open the advanced config panel

Go to TLS Auth Tab

Set the key direction

Limitations

Right now, it is based on .ovpn files created by the kylemanna/openvpn docker container, which handle tls-auth and stuff. Your .ovpn file might differ and you might not get all those files.
