Reconnect failed VPN connections

Open elementaryBot opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

After a VPN connection fails, the connection dies with notification that's easy to miss, and the system doesn't try to reconnect. It would be great if there was an option to reconnect to VPN after connection fails.

Also, there should be an option to have the connection autostarted as soon as network is up. Even better yet, an option so that system doesn't allow any networking until VPN is up and running, to increase security, and prevent possible leaks.

This seems like 3 questions / feature requests?

Also, there should be an option to have the connection autostarted as soon as network is up.

Can't this be configured by going to the settings of a specific network, going to the General tab, enabling "Automatically connect to VPN when using this connection" and then selecting a vpn in the dropdown?
