We probably don't care about the VPN per se -- we just care about whether we're connected to the company network. An application may want to know if it's on the company network -- and doesn't care if it's by wire, wireless or VPN. And it may *ask* for a connection to the company network, which should trigger a VPN connection if we're not already on the company network directly. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ connman mailing list [email protected] http://lists.connman.net/listinfo/connman
