How to add SSH VPN?

I’m trying to add an SSH VPN. Open control panel:

Click +
Select SSH
Error

So how to do it? Fedora Silverblue 36 here.

Yep.

GNOME 42 seems to be switching to Gtk4, so we seem to be in a bit of a hurry to …port the VPN plugins over. The bunch of the changes are much the same as is done for other plugins [1]. The things that are going to come up with that review are likely to affect this too. I suggest this is not merged before the OpenVPN plugin gets sorted out, so there's a good example of how to do things properly. [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/NetworkManager-openvpn/-/merge_requests/41 Note that due to the time constrains I have not verified if this works well; I merely got it to compile and run. Feedback and fixes are very welcome.

Btw I don’t know how to workaround the issue and when a patch will land on Fedora Linux.

btw, as workaround, nm-connection-editor is still GTK3 based. It will work with the GTK3 based VPN plugin. Use that instead of gnome-control-center.
