Hi, do you mean on the "Network connections" menu where you select the network connection to use? If it's correctly listed under "VPN" that you won't have the "automatically connect to this network at startup", you need to designate a real network interface that will be brought up on boot (like wired) and then select on that interface options to automatically connect to the VPN when brought up.
The VPN is creating a virtual interface (tun0 usually) but it needs first that an actual interface is up and able to send/receive the packets for the TLS handshake (and the rest of the packets later too, actually), so it doesn't look like a bug to me ? Are you able to check those two options on any other network connection? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1686254 Title: OpenVPN auto-connect options greyed out or missing for no reason Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Status in openvpn package in Ubuntu: New Status in plasma-nm package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: "Automatically connect to this network..." and "Automatically connect to VPN when..." are greyed out or missing from the GUI, the former is also "checked" however this is not true as it never attempts to auto connect.
