Is it possible to make this into one shortcut?
Can you send the links to those so I can look at the source code and then maybe I can combine them?
Could you possibly test the IP address to determine the current state of the VPN? If VPN is off you will have an IP address in the standard range offered by your telco; if on, the address will be outside this range.
This simple test would work ok if you were off-wireless. As soon as you factor in potentially multiple different wireless networks then it becomes a bit more complex.
You can if you only use the shortcut to turn vpn on/off. ie use if statements and write a 1 or 0 to a txt file
Can we modify this to accomodate other VPN services than Quick Connect? That would be very nice.
Can I ask is this remotely possible with PIA, I have been looking at ways to do this for a week!
Sorry i can’t help you with that but can i have a link for the shortcuts ? Sorry for my bad english i’m french
Yea it’s set to automatically find the fastest connection.
I don’t think shortcuts supports turning on vpns
This should do it
Do you have a specific region or data center yet set for your VPN? Or is it randomized?
If it’s predictable, a tool like ipinfo.io can be used to check where your IP says you are.
This free VPN supports shortcuts and it will toggle it. It has loads of servers too and no logs.

The app has a widget that turns the VPN on or off, why don’t you just use that instead?
I made the same thing someone else did before realizing it was already done. To make my work worth it to some, I decided to add some nifty sounds as indicators.
I was also sarcastic in my wording. You can change the button names without effecting the shortcuts function. 
I think you could just check if it’s on or not.
Can you change the VPN app to VPN proxy master
Throw in a dictionary with X IP ranges and an IF statement, and that should be it
But wouldn’t it break if I turn it off in the app itself?
