Import *.ovpn ignores <tls-crypt>

Using:

  • NetworkManager as in Connections — System Settings Module.
  • OpenVPN plugin for NetworkManager as in this repository.

Problem

During import of *.ovpn profile via "+" -> "Import VPN connection..." this plugin completely ignores <tls-crypt> with "OpenVPN Static key V1" portion of config. No file is created from the extracted key either.

Observations

  • It seems like tls-crypt option is supported by the plugin itself. I can see it under "Advanced" pane -> "TLS Settings" tab -> "Mode:" drop-down menu.
  • Other keys & certificates are extracted into $HOME/.local/share/networkmanagement/certificates/$connection directory.
