You probably have to install additional software packages:

sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome

The exact steps depend on your provider.
I recommend that you use
https://askubuntu.com/questions/187511/how-can-i-use-a-ovpn-file-with-network-manager
https://www.ovpn.com/en/guides/ubuntu-gui
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcx2-EkYYDg
or any other link that you get when doing a web search for "configure openvpn Ubuntu network-manager"
as guides.

Can you help with this problem?
