# NordVPN-Status

A Gnome extension that allows the user to monitor and control the status of the NordVPN connection in the top bar.

Source: https://github.com/bajcmartinez/nordvpn-status

## What it does

When connected to a NordVPN a `VPN` icon indicator will be display in the system status indicator area.

|         VPN OFF                |         VPN ON                |      VPN Details       |

## What it does

When disconnected, the top bar will show a red button reading `UNPROTECTED`, to remind you that you are not connected to the VPN. When connecting or disconnecting the button turns amber, and once connected it will turn green showing you the country and server number you are connected to, e.g. `UNITED KINGDOM #813`. When you click the button it will show the full command-line output of the command `nordvpn status` in the menu. Undearneath the status is a button that allows you to connect / disconnect.
