How do I launch "com.android.settings.Settings$VpnSettingsActivity" via adb

Question

I tried to use adb shell am start com.android.settings/.Settings$VpnSettingsActivity to launch vpn activity. But it just launched com.android.settings.Settings. Could any method launch the activity via adb? Thanks.

you need to escape or single-quote the $ character:

adb shell "am start -n 'com.android.settings/.Settings$VpnSettingsActivity'"
