Was anyone surprised that this would eventually happen? Apple warned the public that such a tool if created would be leaked to the public and used in malicious activities Now that it has happened, has anyone learned their lesson? Doubtful. What are your thoughts on the subject?

Hi guys, I've subscribed to the Airvpn service about 4 months ago and I'm very happy with it. Nevertheless, as a Linux user (currently Lubuntu 16.04) which isn't using the client option, it was becoming somewhat annoying to turn on and turn off the openvpn and the stunnel in different terminals every time. Few days ago I sat and wrote a small CLI script in python, that is automating the process of connecting and disconnecting to the Airvpn service. The script can be found here: https://github.com/hemulin/airvpn_toggler Simply put, what it does is: When turning on - 1) Scanning the configs files folder and asking you from which country you wish to exit 2) After you choose a country, it turns on the stunnel as a background process and waiting for it to finish the initialization 3) After the stunnel init has finished, it turns on the openvpn as a background process and waiting for it to finish init. 4) After the openvpn has finished its init, the script validates that the external IP has changed and if yes, adding a system tray indicator to show it is connected. When turning off - 1) Killing the system tray indicator, the openvpn and the stunnel processes. 2) Validating that the external IP has changed. Currently it is working well for me, but I still consider it to be a "work in progress", so (1) I still improves it and (2) Feel free to ask for features (and of course, forks and pull requests are welcome). Cheers, Hemulin
