I agree that VPN should get it's own icon. We are already using the padlock in unity8 with wifi to indicate that you are connected to a secured network (IMHO very reasonable and understandable concept).
Given the fact that on the unity7 desktop the icon is coming from nm- applet and it has been the same for years now I see little point investing in trying to "fix" this on unity7. Instead we should aim that we get this implemented by the time unity8 hits the desktops. Having VPN on a phone or tablet is not a bad idea either, and I would really enjoy implementing VPN ASAP. With unity8 we can have multiple icons coming from a single indicator and indicator-network is the most logical place to handle VPN. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/823633 Title: Wired VPN network connection icon needs to be fixed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-network/+bug/823633/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
