* green dot for "fast" gateways
* yellow dot for semi-congested gateways
* red dots for gateways with degraded quality (should be avoided).
the main idea behind this is to dissuade users from choosing already congested gateways.

one easy way of doing this would be to hook on the background refresh queries to geoip service (for instance, with a select_city parameter).https://0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-vpn/-/issues/372there should be an easy way of setting a fallback if geoip fails2021-01-28T18:03:35ZKali Kanekothere should be an easy way of setting a fallback if geoip failsfor gateway selection, we have to deal with the fact that the geoip database might be outdated, not resolve a city, or plainly resolve it wrongly.

I think one easy way of doing this is adding a link (or icon) next to some "baseline" report in the off state.
Main window (or systray menu): VPN is OFF. You seem to be navigating in LONDON, UK [not correct?]
The link would open a settings menu where you can setup something (or maybe just pick a gateway). A fallback with Timezone info (or probably the Country/TZ intersection) might be enough for our purposes.

RiseupVPN, in its current incarnation, is a systray-only app. But getting an icon showing in gnome is proving difficult - and we can suggest, but we probably cannot rely on extensions (like #303) to be installed.
So one option might be to bring back the "main" application window in certain situations (as a fallback, or also when clicking on some part of the menu).Desktop Backloghttps://0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-vpn/-/issues/313refresh geoip information2021-01-28T18:03:54ZKali Kanekorefresh geoip informationwe need to make sure that the query to the geoip service is done before each reconnect.
