Wiregaurd Widget - Feature request

[tracerrx]

Would love to see the green horizontal arrows indicating a wiregaurd connection/tunnel is active like the ipsec tunnel widget uses. 

I understand wiregaurd makes this harder then ipsec to tell if tunnel is active, but maybe we can say if last wiregaurd handshake is < X the tunnel/connection is active and display the green arrows or dot.

I am taking it into consideration here if it does not create too much overhead.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Since wireguard does a handshake every 2 minutes by default maybe I can do something, not sure yet though.

Cool.. Sorry I should have searched the PR's

Thanks for the hard work!

+1 to this idea, it maybe looks like a dull idea (it isnt), but if there is an indicator showing UP and DOWN even if the Handshake is 2min, its eye catching.

For example when I do or do not expect the Tunnel to be UP this would help me to identify it much more sooner.

It was not in the PR before. I added it because of your feedback. I will link this post to it.

The improved wireguard widget has online/offline status per tunnel. You can test it now:

Hey there, pretty!  :)

[Monviech (Cedrik)]

Thanks, took a while and 3 people to get it just right xD

Also check out the improved IPsec widget, it now has buttons to connect and disconnect the tunnels. Stole that from the OpenVPN widget.
