VPN_AutoConnect_MacOS_X.scpt

on idle
  tell application "System Events"
    tell current location of network preferences
      set myConnection to the service "VPN" #rename as your VPN connection called
      if myConnection is not null then
        if current configuration of myConnection is not connected then
          connect myConnection
        end if
      end if
    end tell
    return 120 #specify every 120 sec it checks if connected
  end tell
end idle

#Save as Application and check "Stay open"
#To hide app icon from Dock:
#Click "Show Package content" from context menu of the saved application,
#Open Contents/Info.plist (you will need XCode or another PList Editor to edit Info.plist file). 
#Click Add Item, select “Application is agent (UIElement)” and check it.

#Add the application to the Login items in your System Preferences.
#Done.

I know this issue is old. I am posting my answer here because it took me a long while to find the solution and this page comes up on google. I hope it helps someone.

The Problem:
The issue was I got this error.

=====
Can’t get «class svce» "MY VPN" of «class locc» of «class netp» of application "System Events".

System Events got an error: Can’t get service "My VPN" of current location of network preferences. (-1728)

=====

The Reason:
I am using IKEv2 services. It seems the Apple Script (which I found all over the internet) fails to work with this. You can find details in the link below.

The solution:
Timac wrote a script to solve this problem. I simply downloaded the precompiled app here.

If you are interested in the source code that makes it work, you can find it on GitHub here: https://github.com/Timac/VPNStatus

You can also dig deeper into the problem if you are that sort of person on that link. It gives details.

If you are simply looking for a solution to Auto Connect your VPN, the VPNstatus app worked for me.
