Help: Rainmeter Skins • Re: Is it possible to toggle a vpn on or off?

I know internet can be released

But is it possible to toggle w vpn to avoid endless captcha issue.

If it can be done with a plugin that already exists, please forward that to me here.

If i can easily make my own Plugin would someone mind sharing how to do that?

I use Pia .

Thanks

I don't know how this relates to captchas or whether a plugin exists for this, but the part of the documentation to create plugins is at:
https://docs.rainmeter.net/developers/#CreatePlugin
I imagine that would not be considered that easy, so, to toggle a VPN, maybe these links help (can't test them, so it's up to you to see if they work):
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10619285/connect-to-vpn-by-powershell
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49194078/how-to-disconnect-vpn-in-windows-via-powershell
As for running those, this can be done through a RunCommand measure, if you use the ; character instead of a newline character to separate PowerShell lines:
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/plugins/runcommand/
or, if you prefer to do it through a plugin for conveniency and clarity, you could use the PowerShellRM one:
https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=29095
If by any chance you need to run some process with elevated rights, you could use the -RunAs parameter of the Start-Process cmdlet:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/start-process?view=powershell-7.4#example-5-start-powershell-as-an-administrator

That being said, I somehow doubt that you'll be able to avoid captchas by toggling the VPN, but obviously you can try, I might be wrong on that. Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

P.S. I don't know how the above would work for a PIA (Private Internet Access) VPN, if that's what you meant in your last phrase.
