Simple windows tray application to check if internet is connected via NordVPN

NordVpn Connection Checker

Introduction

This is simple windows tray app which is checking (by request to NordVPN https://nordvpn.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=get_user_info_data) if internet traffic is done via VPN. It shows status as icon in tray. The check is hardcoded for every 30 seconds. There is no form or icon in taskbar.

The reason behind it

I am very often jumping between servers in different countries also my router is configured to use VPN by default. I was tired to checking if I am on VPN or not so created this. I used ChatGPT & GitHub Copilot to help also to check how they works.

Quite impressive is the answer :)

.... nope I am not doing anything illegal -> not the reason to have VPN in this case
