Hi Sebastion,
I tried setting up the vpn with nm-connection-editor and still was not able
to add a vpn. This time the "Save" button was greyed out. In the terminal
it gave an error message "Cannot save connection due to error: Invalid
setting VPN: ca: No certificate set." In Ubuntu 18.04 I was able to
connect to vpn by setting the certificate to none. But in 20.04, this is
not the case. Is this the issue? I also attach a screenshot.
Thank you for your help.
