IgnoredSSIDs does not work

[bmansvk]

I am using VPNStatus version 1.4 with following config:

% defaults read org.timac.VPNStatus
{
 AlwaysConnectedRetryDelay = 30;
 IgnoredSSIDs = "MyWifi";
 IgnoredVPNs = "Work,Little Snitch,Tailscale Tunnel";
 Services = (
 {
 AlwaysConnected = 1;
 Identifier = "468EFCE5-A03A-46DB-9700-4E05D92F342C";
 }
 );
}

The test procedure:

1. connect to OtherWifi -> VPN is connected
2. switch to MyWifi -> VPN still connected
   Or:
3. disconnect from Wifi -> VPN disconnected, no other connection available
4. connect to MyWifi -> VPN connected

Running Ventura 13.4 and IKEv2.

Thanks for the bug report!

• Regarding you steps 1 and 2: If you switch from one WiFi (OtherWifi) where the VPN is connected to another WiFi (MyWifi), the VPN won't automatically be disconnected. Do you have in practice this use case with 2 different WiFi?

• For the steps 3 and 4, that is indeed not the expected behavior. If you are not connected to the WiFi and connect to "MyWifi", VPNStatus shouldn't automatically connect to the VPN. I just tried to reproduce this issue and can't reproduce it.

Note that the SSIDs are case-sensitive, can you please double-check that you used the correct SSID? Alternatively, you could try to print wifi.ssid to see what is the WiFi SSID seen by VPNStatus:

VPNStatus/Common/ACConnectionManager.m
