Thank you for using Ubuntu and taking the time to report a bug. While I
understand your argument, this is more of a usability issue in network-
manager and not a security vulnerability in and of itself.

No warning when VPN
Based on IRC discussion, here are a couple more points:
* this should really be addressed in network-manager upstream, as it is a UI
issue
* network-manager can be configured to not connect automatically by Editing
the connection. If on a very hostile network, perhaps this can be used to avoid
Re: Point number 2 - yes, that is a good idea imho. However, since
Ubuntu aims at usability by making the system safe by default, would a
way to solve this be to disable auto-reconnection (opt-in vs. the
current opt-out scheme)? Or should another security mechanism be put in
place?
