VPN-Sentinel is a Cinnamon applet that replaces VPN-LookOut.

VPN-Sentinel monitors the stability of your Wireguard and VPN links, and acts according to the security policy you have chosen.

(Hereafter, "VPN" also includes Wireguard.)

If you have successfully tested other types of VPNs, please let the Author know and explain how to install and configure them.

VPN-Sentinel displays an icon whose color changes depending on the status of the VPN link (connected, disconnected, transient); you can choose these colors.

The flag of the country where the VPN server you are connected to is located can be displayed next to the icon.

When hovering over or clicking on the icon, the following information is displayed: the name of the VPN, the interface used, the time (and possibly the date) since which the link has been active.

VPN-Sentinel can emit a sound when the VPN link becomes inactive.

VPN-Sentinel allows you, as soon as it starts, to automatically connect to the last VPN you used, if you wish.

Events concerning the VPN as well as the applications concerned can be logged.

A hotkey can be set for connecting to the last VPN used and disconnecting. (Alt+V by default.)

VPN-Sentinel can manage each of the Internet applications: possibility of automatic start when a VPN is active, stop when it becomes inactive, stop after a few seconds if no VPN is active.

The VPN-Sentinel Settings are accessible via its contextual menu (right click on its icon).
