Here are the steps to set up HMA Pro VPN on Ubuntu using Network Manager:

1. Install HMA Pro VPN

- Add HMA's repository: `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hidemyass-repo/p2p`
- Update repositories: `sudo apt update`
- Install HMA: `sudo apt install hma-pro-vpn`

2. Import HMA Pro VPN profiles

- Download the OpenVPN configuration files for your HMA subscription from their website.

- Copy the .ovpn files to /etc/openvpn

- Update permissions: `sudo chown root:root /etc/openvpn/*.ovpn`

3. Connect Through Network Manager

- Open Network Manager and go to VPN connections.

- Click Add, select Import from file, then choose the .ovpn files you copied over. This will add each HMA location as a connection option.

- Enter your HMA username and password when prompted.

- Connect to any server location through Network Manager. You may need to restart Network Manager after importing profiles.

Once installed and configured, you can easily connect and switch HMA Pro VPN servers right from Network Manager. Be sure to select the "Use this connection only for resources on its network" option so all traffic routes through the VPN tunnel.

i. Here are some common issues that can occur when using HMA Pro VPN on Ubuntu and how to fix them:

- Connection failures or authentication errors - Ensure you entered the correct HMA username and password. Try reimporting the .ovpn profiles.

- Slow speeds - Try switching to a different VPN server location that may have less traffic. Check your Internet connection without VPN enabled.

- VPN kill switch not working - Make sure the Network Manager VPN option "Use this connection only for resources on its network" is enabled.

- VPN leaks - Confirm the VPN is connected and you have restarted any leaky apps after connecting. Toggle airplane mode on/off to force full tunneling.

- Connection drops - Switch to TCP protocol instead of UDP in the VPN profile advanced settings if you're losing connections.

- Can't access certain sites/apps - Some may block VPN connections. Try a different HMA server. Otherwise use only when necessary.

- VPN interference with other network apps - Temporarily disable or uninstall tools like firewalls or other VPNs. Re-enable after connecting.

- Ubuntu freezes when connecting - Try updating Network Manager or rebooting your system if you experience system freezes or hangs.

- DNS leaks - Modify the .ovpn profiles to use HMA's DNS resolvers instead of system defaults to prevent leaks.

- Greater battery drain - VPN overhead will impact battery life. Connect only when needed on mobile devices or adjust power settings.

Hopefully changing servers, reconfiguring the VPN app, or troubleshooting your system will resolve any issues you encounter using HMA Pro VPN on Ubuntu.
