Q: Pause Transmission on OSX Server when User Connects to VPN
I am using the Server app (version 5.1.5) on 10.11.5, and use the VPN functionality for my own personal use to have a secure internet connection to my home network when I am out and about at coffee shops. I also run Transmission on the same Mac, and would like to automatically pause Transmission when I connect to the VPN service and then resume when I disconnect. I have searched for help on this issue but all results I can find are for controlling Transmission on the computer with the outgoing VPN connection.
Is there a way to detect the incoming VPN connection on the Mac with the Server app to pause Transmission, then resume Transmission when I disconnect from the VPN?
Thanks!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)
