You can execute a cron job with root privileges to start a program at boot, or use a systemd task. Any operating system supports this.

use cron as a simple method, search for a guide online, and set it in the root crontab.

The system may lack a visible option due to design choices or security policies meant to streamline user access.

This interface uses a graphical user interface. You might be able to create a script for startup that runs with root privileges.

The interface is set up by default in xubuntu. I’m not sure how to make changes. I feel really confused trying to figure this out.

Please specify the action you'd like to perform with root privileges. Once you clarify, I can provide the appropriate command.

The command to launch the VPN app is straightforward. It’s designed to be simple, even for regular users. You can start it with basic settings without needing special privileges.

The application shouldn't be executed as root or administrator unless required. It should have a service file or init script by default. If permission changes are necessary, use sudo or gksudo. Once the task is complete, revert permissions. You mentioned it's a VPN app—NetworkManager typically handles most protocols out of the box across common distributions. Missing protocols can be fixed with the right plugin installation.
