Description auxsvr 2014-01-05 19:12:07 UTC
When a proxy is configured in KDE settings, starting a VPN connection leaves it configured. Preserving the proxy settings means that http connections are routed via the old network, not that of the VPN. Thus, apart from "not required" proxy type, another type such as "disabled" is required.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Configure a proxy server in KDE system settings.
2.Connect via VPN to a foreign network.

Actual Results:  
The proxy settings remain for the new network connection. Occasionally, the connections are router through the proxy server (perhaps for already established connections?), other times applications cannot connect to it. Even if the proxy is reachable, connections should be made via the VPN, not the old network.

Expected Results:  
No proxy should be used for a VPN, unless configured so.

The VPN used for the tests is openvpn. The workaround is to remove proxy configuration manually before connecting to the VPN.
