Ability to check the Status of ExpressVPN #12

If possible, could you add a "status" option so we can check the status of the connection?

The result returned could be:

Connected to [location]
Disconnected

After working with Expresso a little, I see that rerunning expresso connect will give you a status. However, this connects ExpressVPN if it isn't already connected. I'd like the ability to get the status only.

A status feature would be fantastic! Thanks for making this sttz!

I made a custom script to interface with expresso.exe... I hope it fits a need for someone!

What's your use case, just directly using expresso on the command line or using it with something else?

slyfox1186 commented 2 years ago

I just made a shortcut from the bat file to the desktop. Just for an easy toggle on or off.

Updated expresso to 1.3.0 with two new features:

There's a new status command that shows the current location when connected
The connect command has a new --toggle switch, which disconnects instead when already connected
