CentOS - Oct 2014 - openvpn client and KDE Network Manager - with CentOS7

Hi All,

I am switching from Fedora20 to CentOS7 since I now run all my Linux 
development in a VM and I get a more robust feature set (i.e. shared 
folders with the host that "just work", etc)

The only issue I have thus far is VPN connections. Looking at what's 
installed on my old Fedora install I suspect I need these packages:

kde-plasma-nm-vpnc
kde-plasma-nm-openvpn
NetworkManager-openvpn
NetworkManager-vpnc

However none of these are available in CentOS7, Note I have the centos 
extras and the EPEL repos enabled.  I suspect that I need rpmfusion but 
I don't see that rpmfusion has a repo for CentOS7...

Anyone have any thoughts? Can I simply install the centos6 rpmfusion repo?

Thanks in advance

The OpenVPN packages are in epel, and the vpnc packages are in the Nux
Desktop repo.

NetworkManager-openvpn.x86_64
                                        1:0.9.8.2-4.el7.1

             @epel

NetworkManager-vpnc.x86_64

1:0.9.9.0-6.git20140428.el7.nux
                                         nux-dextop

Nope. This would make bad things happen.

Looks like you'll want
kde-plasma-networkmanagement-openvpn
from
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2014-4723

(I'll be adding openconnect support soon too)
