Description D.S. (Spider) Ljungmark 2012-08-01 08:51:26 UTC 
When connecting to the somewhat hostile conference Wifi, I always use a VPN tunnel (openvpn) set up through NetworkManager.

Currently, if I suspend the machine, by closing the lid, it will drop the Wifi and VPN connections.

If I resume the computer, by opening the lid and working again, it will reconnect to the _WIFI_ only, but not the VPN.


In a situation where you had WIFI + VPN setup previously, and reconnect to the _same_ wifi afterwards,  The network should not be considered "Ready" until the VPN is re-established.

The problem comes from applications such as Empathy, Epiphany and Firefox which are sending out information across the hostile network.
