Oh the joy of Linux and importing VPN configurations from pfSense OpenVPN client export wizard/generator.
On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, the trick was not to use the OpenVPN.oval file, but to manually import the file not using the OpenVPN part of the GUI- using the 'archive' option from the pfSense file generator.
I updated to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and now the trick was to download the Mac/Windows viscosity bundle, unpack, and run that .conf.
Oh Linux network manager and your VPN 'turn key' GUI, you trickster you.
