How to setup HMA VPN via OpenVPN on Ubuntu with Network Manager

Do this to connect to HMA Pro VPN via OpenVPN on Ubuntu with the help of the integrated network manager:

  • Install network-manager-openvpn-gnome
  • Download the vpn-config.zip ( http://hidemyass.com/vpn-config/vpn-config.zip )
  • Download the linux installer ( https://vpn.hidemyass.com/linux.zip )
  • Create vpn folder (I used ~/vpn)
  • Extract both zip files there
  • Open network-manager (System->Preferences->Network Connections)
  • Go to VPN tab
  • Import the *.ovpn entry for the location you wish to connect
  • Edit the entry and change the "Type" to Password with Certificates (TLS)
  • The gateway and cert/keys should already be populated from the import
  • Add your vpn username and password
  • Apply
  • Use the network icon in the panel to navigate to your VPN entry and connect
