How it works
- Pick connects, disconnects or either.
- The advanced name filter matches a VPN whose name contains words like WireGuard or Work.
- Changes are reported once the network has settled.
- The routine gets the change and the current network state.
Routines that use it
VPN up, work day on
When the Work VPN connects, Open app starts your work chat and Open URLs loads the intranet.
Tunnel dropped
When the VPN disconnects, Close app closes your torrent client and Show banner warns you.
Tidy log-off
When the work VPN disconnects in the evening, Restore layout puts your personal window layout back.
Settings
| Setting | What it does |

| On | Fire when a VPN connects, disconnects, or either. |
| Nameadvanced | Only a VPN whose connection name contains this (e.g. WireGuard, Work). Empty: any VPN. |
Good to know
- VPNs are spotted by their network adapter, so an unusual VPN may not be noticed.
Questions
- Can I close an app automatically if my VPN disconnects?
- Yes. Use VPN connected or disconnected set to disconnects, and add Close app for the app you want closed.
- Can it watch only one VPN?
- Yes. Type part of its connection name in the advanced name filter.
