OpenVPN support missing in Networkmanager on 25.11

Help

Hey, thank you for your 7yo post.

I had similar issue when trying to connect to vpn.

The VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn' was not installed.

This start appearing after updating to 25.11.

Adding this

networking.networkmanager.packages = [pkgs.networkmanager-openvpn];

solved the issue.

What a way to necro this thread! Iā€™d say whatever was written here is already irrelevant and has nothing to do with the new changes introduced in 25.11.

NixOS 25.11 introduced an incompatibility for NetworkManager as stated here https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/release-notes#sec-release-25.11-incompatibilities

The NetworkManager module does not ship with a default set of VPN plugins anymore. All required VPN plugins must now be explicitly configured in networking.networkmanager.plugins.
