i on a Windows 10 machine.
Script to check if VPN is OK
Re: Script to check if VPN is OK
Well I'm not sure how to do it in a Windows setting, but I guess a windows cmd script will do.
Just check your conf file you have for your tunnel from Integrity. It has a field named "Address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" - use that IP and do a ping, if it responds, the tunnel is up. If not, its down.
That's how I do it and it works fine. I made my own watchdog so check it, so I can do a restart of the tunnel automatically if its not responding anymore.
When it comes to check for DNS leaks, Ive made an array with the "approved" DNS servers you should use with this service and Im checking that againts the actual DNS servers my servers and machines are using. If its not the correct one, I let the script remove them.
But that last part is overkill if you just want to check if the tunnel is alive or not. If you enter the world of Linux at some point, I'd be happy to share my scripts.
