Hello,

I am running 23.04 with Gnome 44.0.

I'm noticing that the Network Manager or applet, is not properly recognizing OpenVPN and Wireguard, in regards to connectivity.

When I first installed 23.04 and set it up, I created ufw rules for both of OpenVPN and Wireguard, to route traffic only through them, so you had to be connected to either one to be online.

The first time I started using the Network Manager, I noticed the applet icon in the system tray, for the Wired connection, would disply the 3 computers in white, showing it was online/connected, when I was using ufw for the OpenVPN rules, while I was not connected to OpenVPN, my understanding, this is incorrect behaviour.

Later, at some point, the applet began to display what I believe is suppose to be the correct behvaiour, if I'm not connected to OpenVPN, the three computers started to then appear grayed out, displaying a question mark.

So now, when I connect to OpenVPN, the 3 computers go from gray with a question mark, and turn white, appearing online.

So the first problem is why was the system tray applet always displaying white connected/online, isn't the correct behvaiour, when having rules, blocking connectivity, unless connected to either OpenVPN or Wireguard suppose to be displayed as 3 grayed out computers with a question mark?

The next problem, is when I use the ufw Wireguard rules and make a connection with Wireguard, the 3 computers stay grayed out with a question mark and never turn white. This to me, looks like the Network Manager, or applet doesn't proerply recognize the Wireguard connection.

I'm attaching two screen shots for OpenVPN, please tell me if this is the correct appearance the applet should display when not connected to OpenVPN, as I've described above?
