Created attachment 185789 [details] wifi applet using incorrect icon, and below a terminal pinging 1.1.1.1 to prove device is connected to internet SUMMARY I use proton vpn, and it has a feature where it allows to enable a killswitch. When i activate it, the wifi icon shows as not connected (see image), even though i am connected to a wifi. Problem is specific to when a killswitch is enabled, the icon works correctly when the killswitch is not enabled. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. enable killswitch in proton vpn options 2. connect to vpn OBSERVED RESULT The wifi applet shows an incorrect icon (shows the icon of when wifi is disconnected) EXPECTED RESULT The wifi applet should show that wifi is connected via vpn SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 Kernel Version: 6.16.11-200.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Note: I have reported this bug happening using proton vpn. I suppose the same problem might happen with other vpn too, but I have tested it only with proton vpn
