I think you're on to something. When I inspected the log files I found
the following that's logged during startup.

vpn-connection[]: Failed to request VPN secrets #3: No agents were
available for this request.

But I do have the 'Make available to other users' enabled in the
settings for this VPN profile. The certificate for the VPN provider is
in a folder under /home/mainuser. If that location would make any
difference?

This is a OpenVPN service by Mullvad that I'm using.
