Description AndyKluger 2016-08-25 18:45:57 UTC 
When using the applet to connect to a wireless network and a VPN on top of that, and then suspending and subsequently waking the computer, the applet reconnects to the network, but not the VPN.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to network
2. Connect to VPN
3. Suspend
4. Resume

Actual Results:  
5. Discover in dismay hours later that you haven't been using the VPN since the suspension

Expected Results:  
Since the applet knows you intended to be using the VPN, it should attempt to reconnect to that same VPN when waking from suspension.

NetworkManager doesn't support autoconnect to VPN connections, thus we don't support that in our applet. The only thing you can configure is to connect to a certain VPN based on successful activation of some connection. Just open the connection editor, go to "general configuration" tab and check "Automatically connect to VPN when using this connection" and then select a VPN connection you want to auto-activate.
