I'm also going to add to this.

I have just done a clean install of 16.04 LTS and OpenVPN connects intermittently. Despite installing openvpn, network-manager-openvpn, and network-manager-openvpn-gnome, the "Configure VPN..." option remains grayed out.

In addition, after creating my VPN profile via 'Edit Connections...', I'm not able to consistently create a VPN tunnel to the office. Attached are 2 files: success and failure.

Both files contain pertinent lines from /var/log/syslog with success showing a success full connection and failure showing a failed connection.

In both cases, I get a notification pop-up that suggests that the vpn connected successfully :(.

When the VPN fails to connect, the 'tun0' interface has no IP Address and is in a down state.
