You can do it from the CLI, follow this guide: help.ubuntu.com/community/… The cnfiguration and the commands are different depending on VPN: OpenVPN, PPTP, VPNC

I have them under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. I am not sure this is the same as Ubuntu, though.

Thanks @MariusMatutiae. Do you know where
nmcli stores the configuration settings for nmcli list? I can't see passwords etc from the nm-applet gui because they're ••••••••••'ed out.– isomorphismes
