connection time and traffic display

[GoogleCodeExporter]

hey there,
i'm using tunnelblick since yesterday and i love it. it even fights its way
through all the port blocking here in my university :)

two questions / problems though:
- i'd love to see the connection time (like the mac os vpn service shows
me). is there a way to enable this?
- i'm not sure, if all traffic goes through tunnelblick. how can i check,
if it is working?

thanks for your great work and this fine product :) as a mac user i almost
never shut down my laptop and only put it into sleep. to me it seems like
tunnelblick handles the reconnecting way better than the os integrated vpn
solution.

Connection time seems like a nice enhancement. I'll look into it.

One way to check if the VPN is working is to browse to 
http://www.whatismyip.com. That will show you what IP 
address you are browsing from. For example, if you're using your university 
network and connecting to a VPN at 
home, for example, whatismyip.com should report that your ip address is your 
home ip address, not a university 
ip address.

(You might want to look at the "redirect-gateway" OpenVPN option, by the way.)

Connection times are implemented in r104, and will be in the next release. 
Thanks for the suggestion!

hey there,
i feel really bad, because i didn't already check your suggestion about the
"redirect-gateway" stuff. i googled it, than it looked all to complicated to 
me, so i
took a piece of cake and chilled out in the sun :)
i know that my browser goes through the tunnel and everything else i checked, 
also
goes through it. so it seems like all traffic goes through it. i just missed 
some gui
interface stuff that screams "damn it, leave me alone, everything is running 
fine" xD
but displaying the connection time calms me down a lot :) thank you very much 
for the
work you put into this program.
greetings from sunny germany
