nm-applet version 1.8.4
(In reply to hugeprime from comment #1) > nm-applet version 1.8.4 Do you see any icon at all (for example, the wired icon) when the VPN is connected? On which distro does this happen, and which NM version do have?
Before connecting I see the wired icon, it flips to a spinning connecting icon when connecting, and returns to a wired icon after vpn connects. Lubuntu is distro, version is 1.8.4-1ubuntu3
The icon displayed also depends on the icon theme, can you try to switch to a different one in the desktop settings?
I am, and have always used, the default. Lubuntu theme. I did switch it, and then switch it back. No difference
I tried a Lubuntu 17.10 VM and indeed switching the theme in Preferences -> Customize look and feel -> Icon theme from the default theme to Adwaita or Humanity made the lock appear again. So this is a icon issue you should report to the distro bug tracker.
Thanks. I posted in lubuntu
Closing this bug report as per previous comments.
