Vadim, Privet!
Current behaviour: if your configuration file is corrupt or does not exist wiresock will continue running while trying to connect for infinite duration (see pic)
Right now I am controlling wiresock using a separate c# watchdog process (it also watches over several other processes but that doesnt matter).
Thing is: I assume that if wireguard is running, it is connected (as it’s not really possible to query the actual connection state to my knowledge).
Desired behaviour: wiresock process exits if config file is bad/does not exist.
So maybe its worth adding a flag to exit on bad config text/non-existing config so process wouldn’t be running.
(Command line used: wiresock-client.exe run -config c:\vpn.conf -log-level debug)

Even so,
running service != active tunnel. For example, the configuration file may be present and correct, but Wireguard server may be down or unreachable.I already have several requests to add a simple application with a tray icon to indicate the status of a WireSock tunnel. So, I need to add some IPC for communication between service and tray app. Probably the simplest would be to create a shared memory section to represent the current state of the service/tunnel, or a simple named pipe request-response mechanism.
More complex, but at the same time more modern and flexible, would be to add a simple web socket server using a third-party library such as websocketpp.
I will give it a think until the next weekend. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Hey Vadim!
I do not use the service as you can see from my command line (I assume running wiresock-client does not interact with services by any means).But in my opinion the situation when config is ok and Wireguard server is unreachable VS config is bad/missing are two completely different situations, and I would expect wiresock exiting on trying to import a bad config.
May sound not intuitive but with a flag it sounds like a good idea in my head.
So something like wiresock-client.exe run -config vpn.conf -exitonbadconfig would just close the process after failing to import/validate the vpn.conf fileYou may be right, at least for the case where wiresock-client is running as an application and neither the primary nor secondary configurations are good/available, it makes sense to exit. As for the service, it may constantly try to restart.
Works perfectly!
Unrelated suggestion: display version info in the initial notice message i.e.Wiresock WireGuard Vpn Client v1.2.14 running as..
