This trigger will fire when the a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is connected/ disconnected.
</pre>
''' Options '''
* '''Enabled''': Trigger when a VPN connection is established
* '''Disabled''': Trigger when a VPN connection is terminated
''' Requirements '''
* Requires Android 5.0 (Lollipop, API 21) or higher
''' Configuration '''
Select whether to trigger when a VPN is connected (Enabled) or disconnected (Disabled). The trigger monitors network connectivity changes to detect VPN state.
''' Examples '''
<pre class="trigger-style">Triggers
VPN State (Enabled)</pre>
<pre class="action-style">Actions
Notification: VPN Connected
Your connection is now secure
Set Variable: [vpn_status] = Connected</pre>
''Notify when VPN connection is established.''
----
<pre class="trigger-style">Triggers
VPN State (Disabled)</pre>
<pre class="action-style">Actions
Notification: VPN Disconnected - Warning!
Your connection is no longer protected
Speak Text: VPN has disconnected</pre>
''Alert when VPN disconnects unexpectedly.''
''' Notes '''
* The trigger works with any VPN app that uses standard Android VPN APIs.
* Detection is based on network connectivity changes, so there may be a brief delay between the actual VPN state change and trigger activation.
* Useful for security-conscious workflows that require awareness of VPN connection status.
* Consider pairing with a VPN constraint to ensure actions only run when VPN is in the desired state.
* Works with both system VPN connections and third-party VPN applications.
