Hi!

Firstly, thank you so much for your work on this. It has been a lifesaver for me. I use Linux Mint 21.1 Vera, and it's so sad that the native Network Manager doesn't support WireGuard config file import. Moreover, when I enter it all manually it simply doesn't work, there was some trick I had to come up with where I didn't enter a preshared key and had to restart a pc and only then it would work.

From your README, I got an impression that the goal of this project is to make an exact copy of Windows's GUI. If that's not the case, if wanted to provide some feedback to make it even more convenient, in my personal opinion.

  1. It's probably a bug, but when I left-click on the icon in the system tray, it doesn't do anything, so instead I have to right-click > show.
  2. Make it so I can quickly choose a VPN tunnel by a menu after leftclicking a in a system tray (left click > VPN tunnels >> MyVpn1), so that the whole main window doesn't even have to pop up.
  3. I mostly use VPN to reach websites that are blocked in my country, so it's roughly 15 minutes a day. But then sometimes I forget to turn it off (yeah, there is a large green check mark, but sometimes i m still very inattentive), and I accidentally eat all my traffic (watching videos, downloading torrents), so maybe some option is settings to notify me that i m using VPN for more that an hour~.

I am not a developer, I understand number 3 is a picky one, and I don't know if 1 and 2 are easy to implement.

I just hope that my feedback might be useful, so once again, thank you for making something this, great work!
