RiseUp VPN crashes out if internet not ready - Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
VPN_crash_when_no_internet Until the last week or so, attempting to connect to VPN when the internet connection was not ready (or the cable was unplugged) would result in the VPN icon on the top menu reverting to a cross. When the internet was ready, it was possible to retry the VPN connection. Recently, the icon changed its appearance, suggesting an update of some kind. Now, if the internet is not available for any reason, the VPN icon disappears and the application needs to be restarted. See attached video (icons on top right of screen).
