Actually I apologise for being snarky yesterday. I've read the full upstream bug now and whilst it is a complex set of needs to make VPNs work in all use cases (mine being relatively simple), it looks like NM with this check box is up to its usual tricks of claiming features that just don't work in even the simplest use case.
This being so, I agree - patch the option out until upstream gets around to fixing it, if ever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280571 Title: NetworkManager does not auto-connect to VPNs marked "Connect Automatically" Status in NetworkManager: New Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “network-manager” package in Debian: New Bug description: VPN connections marked "Connect Automatically" are not activated when a wired or wireless network becomes available.
