The module should be set up for Mullvad VPN users. For other VPN's, please check out these parameters in vpn_module.sh. Replacing the commands on the right with the appropriate calls from your VPN's API may suffice to swap VPN services.

## [Set VPN commands]. Setup for Mullvad is done below.
# The first three commands should have direct equivalents for most VPNs.
# The relay_set command assumes <country_code> <city_code> will follow as arguments. See below.
VPNCOMMAND_CONNECT="mullvad connect"
VPNCOMMAND_DISCONNECT="mullvad disconnect"
VPNCOMMAND_STATUS="mullvad status"
VPNCOMMAND_RELAY_SET_LOCATION="mullvad relay set location"

## [Set VPN status parsing]
# The first command cuts the status, which is compared to keywords below.
# TODO: Add community submissions for other VPNs to make this section robust!
VPN_STATUS="$($VPNCOMMAND_STATUS | cut -d' ' -f3)"	# returns Connected/Connecting/<other>
CONNECTED=Connected
CONNECTING=Connecting

Feel free to open a pull request if you set up commands for other VPN's and want to see them incorporated in the Wiki or code itself.
