Enhancement - show ip addresses and or names of available VPN servers

Open phd21 opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Hi Dragon2fly,

It would also be nice to have the ip address (and or name) of the VPN servers displayed in the console terminal output menu screen. This way we can determine which VPN server(s) we may have used before, or that we have tried and work better. Of course maybe recording the connection history of server ip addresses to a text file (or database file) and providing a quick compare to currently available servers option with a visual indicator (some character or symbol) showing which servers (if any) have been used before would help users as well?

FYI: I also tried this in my Linux Mint 18.1 KDE system and it works well there as well. :)

Thank you again for providing this very useful tool.

Have a great day and night ...

Best regards to you and yours, Phil phd21

Yes, currently is almost not possible to find previous server.

Hi @phd21,

Are you using CLI or TUI version?

@evadogstar has changed the display of CLI. Now it shows servers' ip as well. The pull request is accepted. You could re-clone the project to use the new one.

Recording the history of what server you have connected to required a bit more time to do. It's also a security risk if someone else know the records. They could either required the logs from the server or pretend to be that server and waiting for your connection :)

Cheer,

Hi Dragon2fly, & evadogstar,

I use the TUI version (the default). Is there any reason(s) why anyone should use the "cli" over the "tui" or visa-versa? I did just check out the "cli" which has the IP address for each server, that's nice. Now can you please do that with the "tui" interface?

Thank you again for providing this very useful tool.

Have a great day and night ...

Cheers and Best regards to you and yours, Phil phd21
