Actually IIRC step 4 was added because NM also has (or had) a bug in
its
automatic VPN startup.
As mentioned enabling the option "Automatically Connect to VPN..." is
not persistent between rebooting the AppVM.
I have done some research and found out that if I enable this setting
the following file will be changed:
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/qubes-uplink-eth0
Under the section [connection] you will find a new line which says:
secondaries=UUID;
This UUID is referencing to the UUID in the OpenVPN Connection file.
If I reboot the AppVM the change is not persistent.
The line is also present in
/rw/config/NM-system-connections/qubes-uplink-eth0
What do I need to do, so that this change will survice a reboot?
I'm not sure. Probably you'd have to use Qubes 'binddirs'.
You might want to test NM Autoconnect first, by disconnecting then
re-connecting the virtual eth0 interface. You may encounter what we did
(when step 4 was written): erratic behavior from NM that fails to
reconnect the vpn.
