I use wireguard vpn on regualar basis. But whenever I turn it on InternetSpeedMonitor shows Double of the actual download upload speed of the connection.

Please fix this issue or add an option to select network interface to monitor in settings.

depends on what type of VPN you're using.

1. if the VPN creates a proxy (eg. http, socks) server, no additional traffic is counted (because everything goes through lo and is already filtered).
2. if the VPN creates a tun/tap interface with custom name, traffic will be counted twice. try direct your VPN software to name the interface according to

   netspeedsimplified/extension.js

   Lines 325 to 333 in e996714

   	if (fields[0] != "lo" &&
   	!fields[0].match(/^ifb[0-9]+/) &&
   	!fields[0].match(/^lxdbr[0-9]+/) &&
   	!fields[0].match(/^virbr[0-9]+/) &&
   	!fields[0].match(/^br[0-9]+/) &&
   	!fields[0].match(/^vnet[0-9]+/) &&
   	!fields[0].match(/^tun[0-9]+/) &&
   	!fields[0].match(/^tap[0-9]+/) &&
   	!isNaN(parseInt(fields[1]))) {

maybe add an prefs option to allow user input custom filter might also be a good idea?
i'm not familiar with gnome-shell extension development, maybe someday i'll post a PR.

Hello.
Cisco AnyConnect makes interface cscotun0
please filter cscotun interfaces

by the way, maybe better add feature that can choose interface for monitoring
