Where Am I From

Why

An elementary tool to detect Linux active interfaces change and get your a country your public IP belongs to. I need this as I often use some VPN tunnel and want to see my current "location" at i3 status bar.

How it works

The code:

• Checks number of active network connections.
• If number changed app does HTTP request to external API returning geo location of IP address from where request comes.
• Updates location country at /tmp/whereamifrom file.

Currently https://ipinfo.io/ is used.
