Comment 6 for bug 2019048

I found the culprit!

/usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/
20-connectivity-ubuntu.conf
uri=http://connectivity-check.ubuntu.com./

I commented this out;

#uri=http://connectivity-check.ubuntu.com./

Then I rebooted, and now, no matter which set of ufw rules I am using, OpenVPN or Wireguard, the nm applet always displays the Wired Connection as white when offline line from OpenVPN or Wireguard. Is this the correct behaviour we want to see, or should it always show as grayed out and a question mark, until making the VPN connection?

I've attached a screen shot, that now shows the Wired applet connection always white, when using ufw rules for OpenVPN and Wireguard, to route only connectivity over these, and not allow to go online, unless connected to them.

Also with uri=http://connectivity-check.ubuntu.com./ commented out #

Now nmcli networking connectivity shows full when using Wireguard instead of limited before.
