This bug is wishlist in terms of making VPN connections reconnect and possibly for future work in having connections with dependencies (e.g. taking care of automatically pulling in a VPN on an untrusted network).

I connect to an (insecure) WLAN or ethernet internet uplink and then tunnel all my traffic through VPN. Generally, this works fine using Network manager. For various reasons though, this connection can drop at times (Flakey WLAN, Re-plugging a cable, and so forth). While Network-Manager notifies me of this using the notification system, BY DEFAULT it reconnects to the WLAN or ethernet and tunnels everything through that. There should be a "are you sure?" clickbox before this happens! Thank you!
