Internet sharing on/off button

Problem is: Company Laptop is using Internet connection and VPN to company, if the VPN client is up, no other network is allowed. If I shut down VPN client, I have to initiate the Internet Sharing again, manualy, every time, that sucks. All other PC are using the Laptop as router.There for I would like to have a Internet Sharing Switch ON/OFF!

Re: Internet sharing on/off button

I did a quick research on this topic and generally speaking this seems to be possible. However, for security reasons Microsoft forces a dialog saying:

%programname% is attempting to enable Internet Connection Sharing on the network connection %connectionname%. This will allow other computers on your network to connect to the Internet through a shared public connection. Do you want %programname% to enable Internet Connection Sharing on this connection?

So no "quiet" change of that setting is possible. But I guess one can live with that dialog.

I'll put this on the ToDo list but I can't promise this to be done quickly as many other features are waiting to be done.
