Network Manager dispatcher scripts - allows you to respond to events on network interfaces by implementing a simple interface and staging the scripts according to a certain pattern.

## How is it used?

After installing on your machine, it runs automatically in the background by NetworkManager executing the configured scripts for us when the network events are received. This implementation works for any ssid that is connected to/from.

When you boot up and your computer establishes a connection with the outside world you will begin to hear a telephone dialing sound during the query to the bash.ws site. Upon receipt of the dnsleaktest results, one of three sounds are played indicating the results:
    
    1. A bell is played. A bright "ding" is played when the dnsleaktest results are that "DNS is not leaking".
    
    2. A dissonant shrill sound is played indicating that "DNS is probably leaking".

    3. A telephone dial tone is played indicating "No internet connection."

Based on this sound you can carry on as usual with your online session or take the appropriate action with your VPN connection etc. to ensure that you aren't leaking DNS for whatever reason. This was largely for making my local network security easier to maintain. My setup will not alow any connected devices to have outside access until the VPN tunnel has been established, but I was still having to test the DNS leaking manually each time. Now I can just wait for the bell!

## Install 📩

```bash
# 1. clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/meads/network-manager-dispatcher-app

# 2. change directory to the repo
cd network-manager-dispatcher-app

# 3. (optional) update the bash.ws/dnsleak.sh script
make update-lib

# 4. Installs 'network-manager-dispatcher-app' for root user from
#    pypi index; copies and symlinks the copy of main.py and 
#    bash.ws/dnsleak.sh under /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/
make
```

## Post Installation Verification ✔️
```bash
# NOTE: you may want to run `make logs` prior to this command to see the application logs as they are written."

# Should hear a dial tone after running this command
make wifi-off

# Should hear a telephone ringing after running this command, having previously run the above command.
make wifi-on
```

## Diagnose 🕵️

```bash
# This will open the logs file to view during or after the connection/disconnection process to see the details.
make logs
```

## Kill it with fire!!! 🔥

```bash
# If something has malfunctioned and the sounds are in a loop or whatever, just run the following to kill the process.
make kill-rogue-sound-threads
```

## Remove 🗑️

```bash
# This will remove any configurations currently under /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ and will prompt for root password.
make clean
```

## Deploy 🚀
*These steps are for me*
1. create separate commit with version bumps in Makefile "install" target where version is specified at the end of the command. Also update
   the setup.cfg version.
2. push the changes to github.
3. `make distribute` (creates a new distribution in the PyPi index)


## Thanks!

Thanks to github user macvk for contributing what is known here as bash.ws/dnsleak.sh script which can also be [found here](https://bash.ws/dnsleak).
