tmux-vpn-status

Tmux plugin that I use to check whether I'm connected to my VPN.

Inspired by https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-online-status

Usage

Add VPN: #{vpn_status} to your status-right or status-left options in .tmux.conf, like so:

set -g status-right "#[bold]VPN: #{vpn_status}#[nobold]"

Configuration options

This plugin allows you to configure three things:

set -g @vpn_online_icon "yes"
set -g @vpn_offline_icon "no"
# Check in ifconfig what the interface name of your VPN is
set -g @vpn_interface_name "tun1"

Installation with Tmux Plugin Manager (recommended)

Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'RSO/tmux-vpn-status'

Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it.

#{vpn_status} interpolation should now work.

Manual Installation

Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/RSO/tmux-vpn-status ~/clone/path

Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf:

run-shell ~/clone/path/vpn_status.tmux

Reload TMUX environment:

# type this in terminal
$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

#{vpn_status} interpolation should now work.
