Johannes Storm wrote a very tiny script. Is anyone able to prepare the patch here? I don't know where to start in the sources. NM is much to complicated for me to start helping with patches :(
For the meantime, his script for /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/: #! /bin/bash REQUIRED_CONNECTION_NAME="<Connection1>" VPN_CONNECTION_NAME="<VpnConnection1>" activ_con=$(nmcli con status | grep "${REQUIRED_CONNECTION_NAME}") activ_vpn=$(nmcli con status | grep "${VPN_CONNECTION_NAME}") if [ "${activ_con}" -a ! "${activ_vpn}" ]; then nmcli con up id "${VPN_CONNECTION_NAME}" fi -- 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: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in Debian GNU/Linux: New Bug description: VPN connections marked "Connect Automatically" are not activated when a wired or wireless network becomes available.
