Problem

moonarch-vpn sends its own notify-send calls on connect/disconnect (lines 45, 47, 55, 59 in defaults/bin/moonarch-vpn). Since the migration to nmcli, NetworkManager (via nm-applet) also sends notifications for VPN state changes. This results in duplicate notifications for every VPN toggle.

Expected behavior

One notification per VPN connect/disconnect action.

Fix options

Remove script notifications — rely on nm-applet's built-in notifications
Remove nm-applet notifications — keep the custom ones from the script (more control over wording/icons)
Disable nm-applet notification category — if nm-applet supports suppressing VPN notifications specifically
