Public bug reported: In a recent attempt to eliminate steps when switching between VPNs ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager- vpnc/+bug/1215262 ), I discovered a need for adding an additional option to the nmcli command.
Currently, in order to disconnect a VPN, you have to specify its id or uuid. I'm proposing that a general disconnection feature be added that will disconnect any connected VPN without having to specify its id or UUID. This need becomes more clear when you attempt to automate switching between VPNs, as I describe in this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/1215262/comments/4 As you can see, without this proposed feature, switching between VPNs is very verbose to automate. I wish there was a command like this: nmcli con down allvpn This proposed command would disconnects any currently connected VPNs (without the necessity of specifying their id or uuid). ** Affects: network-manager-vpnc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: trusty utopic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1338382 Title: nmcli - Disconnect VPN Without Specifying ID or UUID To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/1338382/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
