i3Blocks VPN Status Notifier

I wrote a bash script to handle the status of my VPN. When disconnected, it displays "OFF" in red text and when connected, it displays "ON" in green.

Here's the script if you want to use it or modify it to fit your system!

#!/bin/bash



##Check VPN status
GET_VPN=$(nmcli con show | grep tun0 | cut -d ' ' -f1)

##Store status in STATUS
if [[ $GET_VPN == *"tun0"* ]]
then   
    STATUS=ON
else
    STATUS=OFF
fi



echo $STATUS
echo $STATUS



##Colors
if [[ "$STATUS" == "ON" ]]
then
    echo "#00ff00"
else
    echo "#ff0000"
fi
