Hi all!
Is it possible tomake skin that will change text on screen depending of if VPN connection is active or not?
for example: i have windows taskbar on left side of my screen, it is vertical, and i want to put verticaly oriented VPN text below it so i can see it even when applications are covering whole screen. I want that text to show green VPN when VPN is on and red VPN when VPN is off. And I would like possibillity to change text and collors preset.
Thank You!

Re: VPN notification
HEY! I just found my old topic.
I am wondering if this is possible to be done after new updates?
Maybe if I manually set current non-vpn IP and then skin check if IP is changed and register that as VPN on??? or just part of IP address, not all numbers... I do not know enough about IP addresses to be able to get on top of this myself.

Re: VPN notification
I do not understand this
(MeasureNetwork<1)
I found plugin you used here
http://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/plugins/sysinfo
but I am not sure how it can say that I am on VPN or not because no matter if I am on VPN or not I am on my LAN too in same time.
Still I am not too familiar with IP and LAN/WAN setting so maybe I am just out of course with this.
BTW I tried it and it is always green.

Re: VPN notification
the SysInfo can verify if you are connected to internet or not

Re: VPN notification
I use Cisco AnyConnection for VPN, maybe that is problem.
