I agree that VPN should get it's own icon. We are already using the
padlock in unity8 with wifi to indicate that you are connected to a
secured network (IMHO very reasonable and understandable concept).

Given the fact that on the unity7 desktop the icon is coming from nm-
applet and it has been the same for years now I see little point
investing in trying to "fix" this on unity7. Instead we should aim that
we get this implemented by the time unity8 hits the desktops. Having VPN
on a phone or tablet is not a bad idea either, and I would really enjoy
implementing VPN ASAP.

With unity8 we can have multiple icons coming from a single indicator
and indicator-network is the most logical place to handle VPN.

Title:
  Wired VPN network connection icon needs to be fixed

Status in “indicator-network” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The lock overlay on the wired network connection icon does really look
  bad. While it's fine with the wireless icons, I would rather assume
  that icon is corrupted than understanding that it's indicating an
  active VPN connection.

  See attached screenshot.
