noenic/WireGuard-Network-Selector

Offer the same possibility as the mobile application, which is to activate or deactivate the VPN depending on the WIFI network to which we are connected, so as to deactivate it when we connect to a trusted network and reactivate it in less secure networks

How does it work

The powershell script retrieves the network on which the computer is connected and depending on whether the network is trusted or not enables or disables the VPN.

To do this, the script needs to know which network you trust and which wireguard tunnel to activate or deactivate. To do this, you need to add them to the config.json file following the template.

Now we need the script to be executed each time we connect to a new network, manually it's rather counter productive, so we'll associate it to a windows event with the Event Viewer and the task scheduler

Create the task

Create a task triggered by an event

Trigger :

• LOG is "Microsoft-Windows-Network Profile/Operational"
• SOURCE is "NetworkProfile"
• event ID is 10000

Action:

• Start a programm (wscript.exe "[PATH_TO]\run.vbs" "[PATH_TO]\network-switcher.ps1") (the vbs script allows to run the powershell script without a terminal window while still beeing able to be executed in battery saver mode)

Other Settings:

• Run the with highest privileges (Because wireguard command can only be run under admin privileges)
• Uncheck the box "Start the task only if the computer is on AC Power" (otherwise the script will not run on battery).

Requirements

Wireguard must be in the PATH (type "wireguard" in the command terminal and see if it opens the wireguard UI)
