How to setup VPN on Ubuntu Touch? I have paid account with NordVPN. I have followed their tutorials for setting up in different OS's and assembled from there various setting as per screenshot:
It does not work (connection failed) Firstly, I'm missing a place to add my NordVPN user name and I'm not sure what file to upload as Private Key. The rest of the files are downloaded from NordVPN site: Any help or link to this new great feature will be appreciated. Thanks

There is a click-package that provides more configuration-options, including ca-certificate only with username and password. But you still cannot import the ovpn-file. You have to set the options manually in the app.
Get the latest (0.3.1) click-package here, you can download it directly to the phone:
Then install it with this command from the phones terminal app:
pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted ~/Downloads/com.ubuntu.developer.pete-woods.vpn-editor_0.3.1_all.clickVPN-Editor should appear in the App-Scope. There you have a lot more options... Good luck.
4Thank you Luksus.
using this vpn-editor everything could be specified. For cyberghost-VPN I mainly took the parameter settings from the file openvpn.ovpn (e.g. Remote server address and portnumber) and I was now also able to specify my username and the password.
These settings work for me.
(update march 2017: with OTA 15.04 this does not work any longer in my case, there seems to be a bug. VPN connection failed because there were no valid secrets)
I found that Nord do not use a user certificate, so the 'Type' setting for the main openvpn page should be set to 'Password'. After playing around with the other settings, I finally found the correct setup as shown in this set of screeenshots using the uk30 nordVPN server as an example. Note that the Proxies page was left blank as default:
Thanks Luksus and pewe20 for your posts which got me started on the right path
3The click package works fine for me (with pfSense) on BQ Aquaris-M10. I was also missing a option to put in a username and password.
Just make sure to provide a list with DNS servers to the tablet/phone as this cannot be edited on the mobile device.
As I was having the same VPN connection error message as in OP's first comment regarding OTA11 to the original question, I really thought that it was a Nord issue. After some time with Nord support, it turns out that in the server VPN settings for two different servers, I had entered a username incorrectly in one and the password incorrectly in the other.
Definitely go back and re-enter your username and password to be sure.
