Adding Buttons #13

Closed mexicanhaze closed 5 years ago

mexicanhaze commented 5 years ago

Hi and thanks for the app, I've been waiting for ages for one of these (nordvpn told me they wouldn't bother) I was going to suggest adding a button that kills IPv6 with sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 but then realised that this would probably only work on Debian (and forks). So I thought why not suggest adding customisable buttons where the user could choose a system command to run. For example I have UFW so implementing a killswitch can be done with these two commands : 

sudo ufw default deny outgoing
sudo ufw allow out on tun0 from any to any

(I know you can do it directly with iptables but never tried)

Adding customisable buttons would give each user the opportunity to implement a killswitch (or whatever) for their own distro. You wouldn't have to bother finding a "universal" solution that would work no matter the distro. Each user would pick their own solution or option and go with it.

That's all (thanks again for the app)

So you suggest that I should place a new button that invokes some custom user script written by the users instead of writing a universal solution? I don't think it's a good idea, I want to propose a complete work, and the solution will probably be the use of iptables, as suggested in a previous issue.

Thank you for your appreciation and the interesting discussion
