Connection to VPN from Outside e923399-0b97-4dbe-8199-434343437b vpn Mon 26 Dec 2011 05:56:45 PM EST

Actually activate the VPN using (this seems to require root access):

sudo nmcli con up uuid e923399-0b97-4dbe-8199-434343437b

Test logging into a server behind the VPN:

ssh foobar@server.behind.vpn.com
