We don't have an explicit networking criterion that I can find (an oversight perhaps?), but this would fall squarely under the "basic functionality" Final criterion

The decision to delay the classification of this as a blocker bug and to accept this as an "AcceptedFreezeException (Beta)" was made as we do not have specific criteria for VPN connections, and trying to stretch existing criteria to fix this is difficult. We do have proposed specific criteria from 2020, so we will resurrect the discussion on those criteria and decide on blocker status when that's done. This is definitely serious enough to grant an FE, though.

Same reason as for enterprise wifi – vpn is important e.g. it is the only way to access some university services from outside of the university network.

We should not actually delay release on this: if the VPN plugins are not ready, then gnome-control-center is not ready either, and we should hold it back to version 41 rather than delay F36 release.

If you do this, this sounds a reasonable solution.

Discussed during the 2022-03-07 blocker review meeting: [0]

The decision to classify this bug as a "RejectedBlocker (Beta)", "AcceptedBlocker (Final)", and an "AcceptedFreezeException (Beta)" was made as this does not violate the current Beta criteria, and there wasn't enough support for applying the proposed networking criteria that do cover it to F36 Beta, but it is bad enough to be an FE. For Final, it violates the default app functionality and panel criteria.
