Screenshot of 3 VPN connections

SUMMARY
It's not apparent in which VPN order the networking system is running on or the current visualization is broken.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to two or more VPNs.

OBSERVED RESULT
You can't see in GUI which VPN you're connected to first for example.

EXPECTED RESULT
An obvious indicator about the order of your connection at the moment.

VPNs don't necessarily have an order, so I'm not sure what you are asking for makes sense
Comment 2 Sven Grewe 2024-12-28 18:48:12 UTC
Sorry this was a misconception on my side about how VPN works. So this would be a feature request for a way to visualize a possible dependency and not bug.

As an example:
It's possible to have a connection to one network (C) be dependent on having a connection to another network (B) first because of technical or administrative restrictions in your local network (A).
You can connect from A to B but not directly from A to C.
