Bionic: How can I automatically enable VPN on a network connection? [duplicate]

  • 772

In Xenial 16.04, I was able to use Network Manager to configure a VPN to autostart per network connection.

In Bionic 18.04, I can't yet find this option.

Is it available via some configuration or additional package?

  1. While Gnome 3's connection editor doesn't (as of writing) offer the option, it's possible to configure this via nm-connection-editor as before in 16.04

    See Automatically turn on VPN on computer unlock Ubuntu 18.04 for instructions - the question talks about unlocking, but the answer applies to other network connection changes too.
