Hello all! I apologize if this subject has been posted; I searched and didn't find anything.
Since the last update, the Wifi with VPN won't connect automatically; there is a popup asking me to confirm the VPN password (which is already filled in the field), so I have to click 'OK' and the connection is established.
Is there a way not to have this popup, and that the VPN connects without clicking ?
Thank you!
Nord VPN issue ?
Remove the connection and re-add?

JoshStrobl Hello, I saw it before, it didn't work. Thanks anyway! I'll see if removing the connection and adding it again work. It's weird.
@youwer sorry, it seems confusing to me.

[unknown] you auto login?

And, of course reboot.
I doesn't seem that it is a keyrong problem. It is specifically bound to the VPN connection.
Well, this is weird. NordVPN doesn't work for me on Fedora 30 Gnome.
I have two laptops and one runs Solus and the other runs Fedora 30. I upgraded from 29 via the new rolling-release style instead of doing a clean install. It is an absolute mess.
About two or three days ago I realized that my NordVPN wasn't coming on. I tried several different ways of running the .ovpn file but none of them work. I have been working all day today to prepare my Fedora machine to be wiped so I can install Solus Gnome. I can deal with most of the issues I have now but I need to have a VPN running. Without it this laptop is useless.
It would really suck if I did all this and Nord didn't work in Solus either.
Just checked my Solus Budgie install and NordVPN works fine on it.
I use OpenVPN in Fedora 30 using the Network-Manager. No applets I have never gotten them to work right. I was only able to get NordVPN working on Fedora by manually inserting the information from the .ovpn file. I couldn't even import the .ovpn file on Fedora without having to do so manually with this command:
sudo nmcli connection import type openvpn file nordvpn-server.ovpn
I didn't have any of these problems on Solus. I run Budgie on my other laptop and it imported from the .ovpn file on both my Laptop and my roomates Desktop.
It's weird that the original poster and I are both having the same situation with NordVPN connection failure. Maybe it is an issue with NordVPN and not either of the distros discussed here.

Leaks occur when:
- You still use ISP DNS
- Change to VPN DNS
- WebRTC is enabled in your browser
- Disable it
- VPN disconnects and by default there is no 'kill switch'
- Use ufw for example and set rules so traffic can only go over tun0
https://ipleak.net can help you test for leaks.
Edit:
btw VPN specific applications like the one for PIA do what I listed above, they just don't require you to know how.
I can confirm that PIA only uses basic networking commands to perform it's functionality. I tinkered with it to get it running on Solus. It's like Harvey said, it just strings together a series of already supported events. The only reason it won't run on Solus is it uses the old net-tools commands (which aren't on Solus).

NordVPN support is very bad for Linux.
I use ProtonVPN in Solus, it works very well.
