Note: This fork includes updates for the VPN Lifeguard for Linux to get it to work properly since some of Linux shell commands used in the original master by Philippe734 no longer work. So this fork includes edits to make the application work with slightly different shell commands. This fork also includes extra code that make the application for Linux more robust. You can just download and install the .deb for Ubuntu/Mint, or for your different version of Linux download the source code, install the Gambas3 IDE, and then complie the code to make make a runnable executable and/or create an installation package in the Gambas3 IDE. Or you can just copy the executable (VPNLifeguard.gambas) from the downloaded source code and run it (the gambas3 dependencies must be installed to do this (sudo apt-get install gambas3 (install the IDE)... after adding the repository for gambas3).
Note: This fork of VPN Lifeguard also contains a VB.Net application developed in Visual Studio 2017 (the original by Phillipe was VB6). This application will monitor your connection and, if you get disconnected will kill your monitored applications, and attempt to restablish your connection, and restart your monitored applications. Go to the Windows folder to find it and the download.
