1) How do you tell if the VPN is connected or not? In the Networks there is no indication, like there is for a wireless network, and you can’t right-click to view the properties.
2) How do you disconnect a VPN once it’s connected? The VPN connection in the Networks pane still only has a Connect button, with no Disconnect button, even though if I go into the Network and Sharing Center and click on the VPN connection, it tells me the Media State is Connected.
Obviously I can use the Network and Sharing Center to view the state of the VPN connection and disconnect it. However, it seems awfully long-winded compared to Windows 7, where I could save a shortcut to a VPN connection on my desktop, and right click on the shortcut to view the connection state and disconnect it.

A couple of questions:
