Bug Description
I needed to use my network connection before login, so I had to disable it in network manager and set it up using /etc/network/
Apparently, there is a problem with activating VPN connections in network manager while not being connected to any network via network manager (but of course, being connected to some network using other methods). The fact that it is not possible is ridiculous. Why? The VPN connection itself should only be dependent on whether the underlying interface is connected to some network or not... There should be no ties with network-
