I tried to add a new VPN connection by clicking create a new VPN. It said VPN plugin is not installed. I have no options to choose from to create the new VPN.
So my question is how to install the VPN plugin?
Thanks in advance
Parrot 4.16.0
*USB intallation
multiboot - separate hard-drive
start VPN with:
sudo openvpn <configfile>
Hereâs what works for me.
First I installed
"network-manager-openvpn" (that is openvpn plugin you neeed!)
AND
ânetwork-manager-gnomeâ from Synaptic Package Manager
and than from
âSystem - Preferences - Internet and Network - Network Connectionsâ setup your VPN parameters:
Choose connection type - âImport a saved VPN configurationâ (in my case I have downloaded VPN parameters from my vpn provider and it automatically sets it upâŚ).
Before that I try to add vpn through preinstalled parrots (panelâs) network manager and no luckâŚ
Hope this help youâŚ
All one need to have installed, before beginning any OpenVPN(.NET) configuration, is:
$ sudo apt-get install:

Thanks to b4n3x and to opensight
I used instructions in both replies and I was able to add VPN options. Thanks once again! 
@opensight @b4n3x
Iâm happy to help @ConnectionistSystems
What I have missed and @b4n3x had given in his helpful - for me to - answer, is the installation of
network-manager-gnome
I guess it could be useful for other guys, if we structure the entire OpenVPN installation again - plus, what I had missed and @b4n3x has given to us. And DO NOT forget to install in the end the âUNBOUNDâ, which protects for DNS leaks, that you can check at https://IPLeak.net
And donât forget in to checkout out at the end of the page important info on WebRTC Leak through media in Browsers and how to top that leaking of your IP - watching YouTube, for example - for every Browser. WebRTC Leak of your private IP werenât even blocked by default in the Tor Browser - itâs a sneaky leakage of your true IP.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install openvpn
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome
$ sudo apt-get install unbound
You can read about UNBOUND here https://unbound.net
Big thanks to the Developer(s) and Maintainder(s) of Parrot Linux! A Debian Testing Repos based super secured GNU/Linux OS, that only needs pre-installed OpenVPN Firmwares and Plugins 
I have no targets for ethical hacking, so I donât do hacking, but the Home usersâ Edition, is brilliant for every one, who what to be safe, secured, and private on that fvcking warfield, that Internet happened to become, because of the Cold War. /Iâm waiting for the Russian traitor, to reveal the Russian mass-surveillance wide and hige projects, including thier army of Trolls, that are located in a big business building in St. Peterspburg - who do only fake personalities on Social Madias, and Scientific (absolutely) Disinformation for the old KGB Powers behind Putin, that own Russia.
Glad I could help somehow! 
But installing UNBOUND I cant connect to VPN anymore. IS there some settings more to be done in Unbound?
what you dont understand in sudo openvpn <configfile> ??? thats the simpliest way to do itâŚ
VPN is working as expected, but along with Unbound it stops workingâŚ
remove it⌠but i dont understand why you dont use openvpn fileâŚ
I have these files downloaded from my VPN server:
âsomenumbersandlettersâ.tblk
âsomenumbersandlettersâ.crt
âsomenumbersandlettersâ.key
âsomenumbersandlettersâ.ovpn
"somenumbersandletters"pfx
ca.crt
crl.pem
tlsauth.key
And in README file is:
"If you are using NetworkManager to configure your network connections,
you are probably BETTER off having it deal with OpenVPN itself. A
NetworkManager plugin exists for this purpose::
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome
Mabe, if I try your way with openvpn after installing unbound, I wonder whats gonna happened. I should give a try. But I tested browser and theres no DNS leak in my caseâŚ
In my case you dont have dns leak too⌠You try to deal with an old method for using vpn⌠when you dont know what you are talking about why insist in the bad way??
Do what you want but dont ask because when we give you the best and more secure solution you dont take it and after talikng about dns leak but we can see with your first question you dont know how dns leak and vpn worksâŚ
i think you want to say something but your argument are false and you still insist in the bad way⌠confirm what i said earlierâŚ
and lol i dont saw that on your first post
AND
ânetwork-manager-gnomeâ from Synaptic Package Manager
Man from synaptic⌠we all understand your awesome and in depth skill on linux with this post!!!
