GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 692924
Mentions "network" in VPN reset page
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:07:18 UTC
In the VPN options, there's a page named "Reset" which has a "Forget" button labelled: "Remove all details relating to this network and do not try to automatically connect" It's not a network. The page should only contain the "Reset" button, and it should clearly indicate which "secrets" will be removed when clicked.

I think using the term "network" for a virtual private network is fine. I'm not sure what else we'd call it. What does look weird to me is having "but remember it as a preferred network" and the "forget" action. Also the layout of that page looks weird to me.
I agree that we should only have reset and not forget, and I agree that the string should indicate which settings will be retained and which will be overwritten. Probably makes sense to keep the network address, user name and password but reset everything else to defaults?
too late for 3.8
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
