Description

Hello!

first of all: thanks for this great Software - including even an Android app.
All fine and dandy, Strongswan Android app connects find to Strongswan Server, even automatically via Tasker sending the needed Intent.

BUT: There no Intent to STOP the VPN - that would be perfect!

There are scenarios where IPSEC vpn is not possible but Openvpn (via tcp and/or proxy) is - so easy switching is really nice to have, but for that to work with tasker scenarios, i need a definite way to STOP the Strongswan-Androidapp-tunnel....

Could you implement an Intent for that? e.g. org.strongswan.android.action.STOP_PROFILE ... or even "STOP_ALL", so no profile has to be given? that would make the tasker-life perfect!

Greetings

Great to hear!

any hint for a documentation on this? cant find it in the Manifest:

https://github.com/strongswan/strongswan/blob/master/src/frontends/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

but maybe i'm looking at the wrong place?

It's not in the Manifest, you have to set the package name, class (...MainActivity) and action (...DISCONNECT) manually in your Intent.

Hi!

just tried that, maybe you can point me to my error:

Action = "org.strongswan.android.action.DISCONNECT"
Package = "org.strongswan.android"
Class = "MainActivity"

i tried some more combinations with "ui.MainActivity" as Class, but - no way...

Thanks for your hint!
Greetings

Class = "MainActivity"

Should be org.strongswan.android.ui.MainActivity.

ok thanks, that helped.

Thing now is - it ask for Confirmation ("Abbrechen" / "Trennen") ...

I guess theres no way around that confirmation?

No. The confirmation is on purpose so the user is aware a disconnect was requested and to avoid accidental disconnects via button in the notification.
