Comment 4 for bug 363241

This bug is valid for all releases at least up to maverick!

Moreover, when working in an insecure enviroment it may be pretty dangerous to use NM with openvpn since NM immediately flags any unencrypted connection as valid without starting openVPN as desired.

This may result in applications like evolution and firefox beginning to run unencrypted data transfers immediately which not only is a security risk but also slows down or even completely inhibits the user from being able to establish the VPN manually (see also: bug #420411 ).
