Trigger: VPN State

This trigger will fire when a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is connected or disconnected. It monitors network connectivity changes to detect VPN state transitions.

Options

Enabled: Trigger when a VPN connection is established
Disabled: Trigger when a VPN connection is terminated

Select whether to trigger when a VPN is connected (Enabled) or disconnected (Disabled). The trigger monitors network connectivity changes to detect VPN state.

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.
