I would never suggest using NM if you need network access without being logged
in. Better set up the old network service, it is still there, and works as
reliably as always. AFAIK, NM still doesn't provide network access until a
user logs in (please correct me if it does).
That said, I have never had any problems setting up OpenVPN using the network
service. NM is mainly targeted for laptops, and those typically need network
access only when a user is present, and OpenVPN also rarely comes into play
for laptops.
Just my 2 cents. ;-)
Best, :-)
