I have nordvpn and have used the openvpn config files on their website for a while on gnome and it has worked perfectly. I switched to KDE and in the network manager I can import vpn settings from the config file the same as in gnome and enter my username and password, but when I press the connect button nothing happens. It doesn't give any error it just does nothing.

Here is the button I'm talking about

Make sure that you have all the required packages like network-manager-openvpn (or in my case network-manager-openconnect) or some other packages in apt search networkmanager or apt search network-manager. Unfortunately, when these packages are missing, it does not display any error message -- it just "does nothing"
