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.
