No thank you. I won't touch NetworkManager or its variants with a ten foot pole. Why?
Reason #1
[quote] I am sorry but we do not support NetworkManager.
I would go so far as to say do not use it at all .. but Linux distros think it is some sort of magic ..[end quote]

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.
