 As a semi-ignorant user, I would expect the icon to take on one of three
 states:
 * Disconnected, meaning that my proxy isn't able to talk to the broker.
 * Waiting, meaning that my proxy is able to poll the broker and waiting
 for clients.
 * Proxying, meaning that I'm currently serving a client.

 The ability to toggle between Disconnected and Waiting sounds reasonable.

 I think we should also let the user know how useful their proxy has been.
 Maybe something along the lines of "Your snowflake helped X users
 circumvent censorship in the last 24 hours."
