> Linux can't connect to my work VPN, because there's no way to pass a one time passcode through to a VPN login. Even though I've got the same version of OpenVPN installed on both FreeBSD and Linux, which has support for one time passcodes, on Linux that gets lost somewhere in the tightly-coupled layers in between that are necessary to have a network connection there.
I suspect that you are missing whatever the gui ovpn plugin uses for askpass (should be in the log, complaining). Try starting the vpn from cli ('nmcli connection up $conname'); nmcli is pretty good at asking for info it needs, without the 'tightly-coupled layers' getting into its way.
