How to make a wired network connection "on-demand"
I leave my machine on most of the time, and only use the network connection occasionally to browse the web and such. I would like to limit exposure to scans and such as much as possible, so I would like to have my network connection be "on-demand"... turned on when I'm going to access the web, and then turn off after it is unused for a while. How could this be done?
Running Debian Wheezy stable and Gnome 3. I know I could click it on and off using the network icon on the toolbar, but it would be cool if I could automate it in case I forget to turn it off.
