I got this error message too when using Chrome webbrowser. I tried Internet Explorer and I did not get error message. But importing the OpenVPN files failed anyway, so something strange here (not related to webbrowser).
The solution was to shut down QVPN app from App Center, then restart it. After this it was possible to import OpenVPN files also using Google Chrome webbrowser.

If the supplied open vpn file looks like this:

Code: Select all

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote sample.com 1194
[snip - more of the file here, which is not relevant]
It needs to be formatted like this:

Code: Select all

client
dev tun
remote sample.com 1194 udp
[snip - more of the file here, which is not relevant]
In other words, remove the line containing 'proto udp' and add 'udp' at the end of the line(s) that start with remote.
