Network Manager fails to require VPN

[Espresso]

In Network Manager you can require that the local network requires a particular VPN connection. This works without issue, when networking is enabled, VPN connects automatically. But should there be any service interruption, Network Manager will reconnect using the local network and then exposing the real IP address.

This issue only started to occur in 18.04 using GNome desktop environment. This was not an issue in 16.04 using GNome or Unity.
