Description D.S. (Spider) Ljungmark 2012-08-01 08:55:12 UTC 
For certain, known and authenticated Wifi connections ( as in, not by default on all of them) I want to be able to toggle "Always use VPN with this connection"

This option should then let me to select a VPN to use, and "bind" it to the connection.  It would then refuse to say it is "connected" until the VPN tunnel is established, and any failure of the VPN tunnel, should bring the wifi connection down to prevent information leakage.

The main usecase here are known "hostile" wifi nodes ( Cafés, conferences and similar ) where you do not trust the local network.
