Nopasswd mode

By default, this script will show terminal window when connecting - to allow entering sudo password when prompted.

To use nopasswd mode:

1. Add NOPASSWD record for adguardvpn-cli to the sudoers file:

   yourusername = NOPASSWD: /path/to/adguardvpn-cli
   

   For example:

   echo "$USER ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/adguardvpn-cli" \
     | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/adguardvpn \
     && sudo chmod 440 /etc/sudoers.d/adguardvpn

2. Set NOPASSWD=1 in config file

Known issues

• Login status is not checked
• Sometimes connection marker file is not deleted (e.g. when connection process is killed). You can manually remove genmon-vpn-status-connecting file is such cases
