[ubuntu] Wired Connection Does Not Connect on Boot after Setting Auto Connect VPN

I am new to Ubuntu. (using 16.04)
I have successfully installed Private Internet Access, and I can connect to the VPN and it works.
I want this VPN connection to connect on bootup.

I went to:
Edit Connections
Choose Wired Connection 1
Check marked Automatically connect to VPN when using this connection
Selected my VPN connection
Saved, and rebooted.

Now when it reboots, it is not connected to any network.
I have to pick "Wire connection 1" from the pull down menu, then it connects.

If I undo the Auto Connect to VPN, then the wired network properly connects on boot-up.

Any thoughts?
Thanks
