NEW FEATURE
- Users now have a systray/appindicator that should work on most DE given that correct packages are installed.
- Users can:
- Quick Connect
- Disconnect
- Show GUI
- As it is at the moment, the indicator works independently from the GUI, so it does not start whenever the GUI starts, mainly due to technical reasons. This though is subject to change.
- To start the indicator, the users can either type the command in the terminal or follow instructions on how to create a .desktop shortcut.
- The indicator changes colors depending on the connection status. It is green if it detects a ProtonVPN connection, orange otherwise.
- The indicator will be constantly working in the background, monitoring the vpn connection or the absence of it.
- Instructions on how to start the systray/appindicator are described in the readme file.
UPDATE
- Connection time is now constantly being updated, thus improving UX.
- Sent and received data are now constantly being updated, thus improving UX.
- User will not need to press the
Refreshbutton to update those labels anymore. - ProtonVPN GUI logo has been updated.
Note: For these changes to take effect, a user has to re-install the protonvpn-gui package. Just --upgrade will not update the necessary files.
