I have OpenVPN setup with Proton servers. They work just fine, but I have to manually connect via the Network Manager every time I log in, which means I forget to use them nearly every time. Is there a way to make the computer automatically connect to the VPN on login?

Edit: Solved!

    Inside the settings of each individual network connection is a switch option on one of the tabs called automatically connect to VPN. You would have to enable it with each SSID you connect to, though. If you want to do it for all new connections you may have to let the protonvpn-gui handle it for you or use a startup script to autorun the protonvpn-cli. There is a guide for how to set it up with the wireguard client somewhere though, if you don’t mind using that protocol instead
