assuming you mean this one: http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/sla ... 6_64-1.txz
in your filemanager: rightclick on it > look for "Convert to xzm ↔ openvpn-2.5.5-x86_64-1.txz" > click that
a module will then be created in the same directory.
move it to <your_usb>/porteus/modules (it will automatically activate at every boot)
double-click on it or rightclick, choose activate.

Thank you,

i could install it, but it does not show in Network Manager, i checked it is activated, i have rebooted,
but the network manager still shows only wireguard
what i am doing wrong?

ok, two things:
1. for the networkmanager plugin:
http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/sla ... 6_64-1.txz
same procedure as above.
2. and for the openvpn daemon to start:
in a terminal do as root:

Code: Select all

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn

it will now start at every boot.
to start it immediately:

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn start

but you'll most likely need to reboot to get networkmanager plugin to show anyway.
