⚠️ Warning!

This project was written with the help of AI. I don't know Go. The code was created to solve a specific problem and might not follow all best practices.

A simple tray indicator app for Linux that lets you manage adguardvpn-cli. It provides a basic GUI to connect, disconnect, and view the status, since there is no official GUI for Linux.

Features

• Displays an icon in the system tray.
• Shows the current connection status and location.
• A "Connect" button if the VPN is disconnected, and a "Disconnect" button if it's connected.

It connects to the fastest available location, equivalent to running adguardvpn-cli connect -f.

Requirements

1. AdGuard VPN CLI: The adguardvpn-cli utility must be installed, and you must be logged into your account.
2. Go: Version 1.18 or newer.
3. Terminal: x-terminal-emulator is used to enter the sudo password when connecting.
4. System Libraries (for Debian/Ubuntu):

   sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk-3-dev libappindicator3-dev

5. You are expected to have already logged into your AdGuard account using adguardvpn-cli login.

Building

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/FroggerHH/adguard-vpn-indicator.git
   cd adguard-vpn-indicator

2. Build the binary:

   go build

Usage

1. Run the compiled application:

   ./adguard-vpn-indicator

2. For debugging, you can run it with the -v flag for verbose logging in the console:

   ./adguard-vpn-indicator -v

After launching, an icon will appear in the system tray. Right-click on it to see the status and control menu.
