Try to download/install some gui for openvpn

openvpn-admin.noarch : OpenVPN-Admin is a multiplatform GUI for OpenVPN.
stonevpn.noarch : Easy OpenVPN certificate and configuration management

to install (from root):
# yum install openvpn-admin

then configure openvpn from gui.. anyway openvpn is the easiest way to
connect a vpn..
dont forget u can connect to a vpn by the NetworkManager too
cheers

VPN Mounting on fedora is a little painful... Using any method.
At the end I found what I needed but it just seem to work in Ubuntu
and not in Fedora. However, As I'm going to recieve some "Acer Aspire
Revo" PC's (one for personal use) to transform them into different kinds
of Linux Servers, I decided that Mounting an OpenVPN installation "for once in a lifetime"
in order to use it whenever it is needed is worth the time it requires, 

Thanks!

UPDATE on this issue:

With "At the end I found what I needed" I was refering to"Hostizzle"
wich is a service that provide you with free OpenVPN certificates and
configuration files, installing OpenVPN package from repos & the lastest Kvpnc on the machine (built from
source this one) I was able to connect to an external hosted VPN just like with Hotspot
Shield or TunnelBear using the package that "Hostizzle" provide to you...

Hostizzle Provide you with 100GB of monthly VPN bandwidth, an USA IP adress,
connection encryption with blowfish SSL/TLS of 1024 Bits and other interesting stuff.

The thing worked at the end in Fedora too, just had to use the lastest version of
OpenVPN Client "Kvpnc" and disable SELinux; (Set it to permissive mode,
after using the VPN I switch to enforcing always). The Point is, If it works on Fedora
and Ubuntu, I bet this solution can work in any distro.

Hope this helps someone out there.


P.S. More info, the tutorial and even a video of my "investigation" are in here:
