Description of problem: If a VPN with the persistent property set is disconnected, NetworkManager only tries reconnecting it a single time. This is not enough if e.g. the VPN has been interrupted due to a intermittent network problem. If the network comes back a few minutes later, NetworkManager will not try to resestablish the VPN again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-1.12.6-5.fc29 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create VPN with vpn.persistent set to "yes" 2. Interrupt network for a few minutes 3. Notice how VPN isn't brought back up after network connection is reestablished
