USAGE
=====

1) clone gist somewhere (eg. /home/user/autovpn/)
2) add to /etc/rc.local: python /home/user/autovpn/autovpn.py "myvpn" 'Auto homenetwork,Auto worknetwork' >> /var/log/autovpn.log&
3) reboot :-)

CHANGELOG
=========

0.2 (28.01.2012)
----------------

* feature: use logging module
* bug: script would fail if there was no active connection

0.1 (01.01.2012)
----------------

* bug: compatible with NM 0.9, dropped support for 0.8
* feature: specify networks that vpn is not autoconnected

KNOWN ISSUES
============

* it will always use first active network connection
