Generic Way of Detecting an Active VPN Connection

Hello,

We have configured numerous VPN connections within RDM and are also using vpn clients from many different vendors.
First of all, I would like to point out that we are really satisfied with all these great VPN addons - thanks for that!

From my point of view, one feature would make the daily work with RDM and VPNs even better:
a generic way of detecting that a vpn connection was established and is now active.

Why?
For some VPN Clients (e.g. OpenVPN) it is clearly visible in the windows taskbar if the VPN connection is working (icon turns green). Furthermore there is also the "VPN opened icon" in the RDM status bar.

But for some other VPN clients (e.g. CheckPoint VPN) this is not the case. From a user perspective this can be kind of confusing (e.g. cmd with CheckPoint cli is openend and closed after a short period of time) - the user does not know if the VPN was successful or not.


I know that you are depending on the VPN vendors when detecting successful VPN clients and that it might not be possible to implement this for the huge amount of different clients and addons.


Therefore, I was wondering if you have you ever thought about a generic way of detecting established VPN connections?

What I thought about was defining a "clean state" of network adapter configuration after RDM was launched.
Under specific conditions (e.g. adapters with a name that not contains "WIFI" OR "LAN" gets up or ip assigned / differ from the clean), an icon/entry in the status bar shows this change in network configuration.

Of course I'm also open minded for better ideas solving this.
