I try to automatically run a OpenVPN connection on an Android device with automate and the following settings:

PACKAGE: fx ="net.openvpn.openvpn"
ACTIVITY CLASS: fx ="net.openvpn.unified.MainActivity"
Action: View
DATA URI: (empty)
MIME TYPE: (empty)
CATEGORY: (don't select)
EXTRAS: {"net.openvpn.openvpn.AUTOSTART_PROFILE_NAME": "PC vpnconnect", "net.openvpn.openvpn.AUTOCONNECT" as Boolean: 1, net.openvpn.openvpn.APP_SECTION": "PC"}
FLAGS: (don't select)
CHOOSER: not checked

The name of my profile is "vpnconnect". When I start the workflow it opens the connection overview in the OpenVPN app but it does not establish the connection automatically.

Can someone help on this?

I have used the following setttings

{ "net.openvpn.openvpn.AUTOSTART:PC": "profile name as it appears", "net.openvpn.openvpn.AUTOCONNECT" as Boolean: 1, "net.openvpn.openvpn.APP_SECTION": "PC" }

And I had selectedRun and not View.

In my case the "profile as it appears" is "vpn.server.dns [caspers-phone]"

But thanks ; I was seeing if I can go from Llama to Automate and I was never able to start and stop the VPN wit Llama; but you were very close to automate it in Automate.

It seems you also missed a " for ...APP_SECTION"
