So DoD wants their users to be able to connect to any network and thus give that network access to the computer, leaving alone connecting to insecure networks etc.? Does not make sense to me.
It is possible to increase security by methods such as mandatory firewall limiting connections, forcing VPN to start and changing the default route to the VPN. However, this is why I said it should be configurable by root, so that it can be implemented if necessary.
Indeed. One might change the default policy settings and leave it to the admin to make them more restrictive if needed. If you read the bug at gnome.org that's what they try to implement, including not asking for a root password in case the connection should only be available to the user that creates it.
