Short Guide to Using OpenVPN client GUI and .ovpn config file on PP
#1
A pretty simple guide, Mobian Trixie is setup to use wireguard for VPNs.
It is pretty easy to add openVPN client services though.
first install two packages
Code:
sudo apt install openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome
now the Gnome openVPN network GUI expects you to hand it all of your certificates separately but you can have the CLI add your .ovpn file which I had generated on my  openVPN server running on my Debian VPS.  
The .ovpn file contains all of the settings and certificates you need to make the connection though for some services you also need to add your username and password.
Code:
sudo nmcli connection import type openvpn file /home/mobian/exampleVPN.ovpn
Easy as that for your own VPN server's  .ovpn file or one you get from ProtonVPN or other VPN service.
In trixie you even get a clicker button in the pulldown notification area along with bluetooth battery and wifi toggles once the VPN is setup.
