[Bug 1381942] [NEW] Connection information shows wrong VPN IP

 

Public bug reported:

I am connected to a VPN. I want to know my IP address in the VPN.
Connection Information window has a separate tab for my VPN connection,
but this tab displays wrong information. In particular it displays the
same IP which is used for the physical network, not the VPN IP.

I will attach screenshots of the window. Here's the output of
`ifconfig`:
