Hello, For my corporate work I am running a custom build AppVM which is based on a fedora-30-minimal package with some additional packages. I am using the gnome network manager applet with the openconnect plugin to connect to our corporate VPN (Cisco Anyconnect). This is working fine, but I would like to have the VPN started as soon as the VM boots up. Normally this can be done, by right clicking network manager icon, choose "Edit Connection" then edit the settings for the Ethernet connection (VM uplink eth0), open the "General Tab" and enable "[x] Automatically connect to vpn" and choose the VPN connection which I have configured.
Unfortunately this setting will not survive the boot of the AppVM, therefore I think the setting is saved somewhere where the AppVM has no write possibility and therefore the setting will be forgotten when I shutdown the AppVM. QUESTION: How can I make this change permanent or do you another idea how to launch the VPN connection upon start of the AppVM? - O.
