Thanks for the bug report.

I am able to reproduce the problem. There are two things to consider here:

1) ifupdown is not part of the default desktop image and as such it needs to be installed anyway.

2) However, even after installing ifupdown, scripts under /etc/network/if-up.d/ don't get executed when an openvpn connection is established.

It's still not clear why this is happening, though.

I am marking this bug as Triaged and adding it to our backlog.

It's also worth noting that ifupdown is being slowly deprecated in favour of more modern solutions, like networkd-dispatcher.

Having said that, I tried placing a test script inside /etc/networkd-dispatcher/routable.d/, but it still doesn't work.
