I would go so far as to say do not use it at all .. but Linux distros think it

Reason #2
[quote] Due to multiple, critical problems in network-manager-openvpn which after years have not
been solved we recommend to NOT use it. Please understand that we will not provide support to
network-manager-openvpn. In GNU/Linux we recommend that you run our free and open source software
"Eddie", or our free and open source software "Hummingbird", or OpenVPN
directly [end quote]

Eduardo, I do use VPNs frequently in my line of work and always use the
community edition of OpenVPN to connect to VPN servers directly.
Unfortunately I cannot say whether your use case will work with NM. I
occasionally use a wireguard firewall, but I don't think I've used
OpenVPN with NM.
However, note that the posts are from 2014 and 2018. A lot might have
changed since then.
