Hi /g/
I'm a complete newfag to linux. I have dual boot for windows and linux mint 17.2. My VPN client works fine on windows. I also have it on linux and connect through openvpn through terminal. It connects but I I can't get any websites to load with Firefox or opera. Any advice on how to fix? Please forgive my newfagginess. Any help would be much appreciated.
install gentoo
I had this issue too with Linux Mint. I am able to connect via terminal in other distros no problem, but I can't in mint. Fortunately I found a work around in mint that worked for me.
For some reason 4chan thinks this is spam so just replace the spaces with dots.

Just follow this guide but instead of HMA just use your vpn's CA certs etc. I couldn't ever get it to work in the terminal but I could via GUI.

You should install networkmanager-openvpn, then import the ovpn config through the networkmanager gui

Out of curiosity, what VPN service do you use?
>>51771679
I am using nordvpn
>>51771859
I use nordvpn as well
You are aware that they have a step-by-step guide how to set up openvpn using networkmanager, right?

This is actually a good answer

Yea I did all this. It connects to the VPN but just can't load anything on Firefox or opera

You said you did it via the terminal though
Mint uses the network manager
You only do one of the two, not both
