Netindic is an indicator tool for diagnosing network connectivity problem. The issues netindic can detect includes:
- missing IPv4 address or IPv6 address (global)
- missing or unreachable gateway
- unreachable or malfunctioning DNS
- captive portal
- malfunctioning internet (currently make a test to http://httpbin.org)
Basically, netindic tests all components every 20 seconds.
At any time, one can ask for a network diagnosis. The following window will appear:
If a captive portal is detected, an authentication window is opened.
Before using netindic, some librairies must be installed.

Just run ./netindic.rb
Run ./install.sh to enable automatic startup on session start.
Configuration is done by creating the directory .config/netindic. The file config.yaml resides in this directory. It contains:
:theme:: the icon theme to use:test_dns:: the internet name to query for determining DNS is working:test_url:: the url to test for determining internet reachability
Currently, configuration is read on startup only.
