Have you just installed or have you configured something aswell?

You need to restart NetworkManager.service before it will load any new packages/options.

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

Or just reboot

Re: Network manager wont show VPN options

Afaik current openvpn is incompatible with the networkmanager-openvpn plugin. So you'd have to wait for an update of the latter or hope that no dependency broke and downgrade the former. Or setup the connection manually on console.
