Title:
  Please warn the user when VPN is disconnected

Status in NetworkManager:
  Fix Released
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  I sometimes use VPN for security reasons. I connect to an (insecure)
  WLAN or ethernet internet uplink and then tunnel all my traffic
  through VPN. Generally, this works fine using Network manager.

  For various reasons though, this connection can drop at times (Flakey
  WLAN, Re-plugging a cable, and so forth). While Network-Manager
  notifies me of this using the notification system, BY DEFAULT it
  reconnects to the WLAN or ethernet and tunnels everything through
  that.

  There should be a "are you sure?" clickbox before this happens!

  Thank you!
