The OpenVPN packages are in epel, and the vpnc packages are in the Nux
Desktop repo.

NetworkManager-openvpn.x86_64
                                        1:0.9.8.2-4.el7.1

             @epel

NetworkManager-vpnc.x86_64

1:0.9.9.0-6.git20140428.el7.nux
                                         nux-dextop
