Description Dan Williams 2016-02-10 17:15:25 UTC 
If the server doesn't send down IP config, but the user has specified manual configuration, then that should probably be used instead of assuming no configuration.

Maybe in nm_vpn_connection_apply_config() if there is no IPv4 or IPv6 config, but there *is* configuration in the appropriate NMSetting, a new NMIPConfig could be created and merged with the setting config and used.

Example use-case: the VPN server doesn't actually provide IPv6 configuration, but the tunnel has IPv6 capability.  The user could give a manual IPv6 address or could elect that SLAAC be used over the tunnel interface.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. 
We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
