'man NetworkManager' should have the details; look for the bits about
"dispatcher" scripts. You're looking for the 'vpn-up' and 'vpn-down'
signals specifically. Basically drop this
into /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d, make it owned by root, and make
sure it's not writable by other users or setuid:
#!/bin/sh
export LC_ALL=C
if [ "$2" = "vpn-down" ]; then
<do something>
fi
if [ "$2" = "up" ]; then
<do something else>
fi
