status menu:\n\n- list the VPN services and their status\n- connect to a VPN service\n- disconnect from a VPN service\n- possibility to auto connect to a VPN service if the application is running\n- Completely free ([donations welcome](https://github.com/sponsors/Timac)) with the source code transparently available\n\n# Installation\n\n\n## Precompiled\n\nYou can download and install a precompiled and signed version of VPNStatus and vpnutil at [https://github.com/Timac/VPNStatus/releases](https://github.com/Timac/VPNStatus/releases).\n\n\n## Homebrew\n\nAlternatively, you can use Homebrew:\n\n```\nbrew tap timac/vpnstatus\nbrew install timac/vpnstatus/vpnutil\nbrew install --cask timac/vpnstatus/vpnstatus\n```\n\n\n# Settings window\n\nVPNStatus lets you tweak the settings in the preferences window:\n\n![](Screenshots/SettingsGeneral.png)\n\n\n# Retry Delay\n\nVPNStatus tries to reconnect to the VPN every 120s by default. You can change this value in the settings.\n\n\n# Ignored SSIDs\n\nVPNStatus can optionally ignore one or more SSIDs, such that services are **not** autoconnected when the current Wi-Fi SSID is on the ignored list.\n\n![](Screenshots/SettingsSSIDs.png)\n\nWith the above example, if the current Wi-Fi network SSID is `OneSSID`, `SecondSSID`, or `Third SSID`, then the VPN will **not** autoconnect.\n\nIf the Wi-Fi network SSID is, say, `FourthSSID`, the VPN service **will** autoconnect, because it is not on the list.\n\nNote that SSIDs **are** case-sensitive.\n\nStarting in macOS 14 Sonoma, reading the Wi-Fi SSID requires Location Services access. Without the Location Services access enabled, VPNStatus can't ignore SSIDs while autoconnecting. VPNStatus now checks the Location Services authorization and displays a menu item to grant the permissions.\n\n\n\n# Hide VPNs\n\nThere are some VPN configurations that you might not want to see in VPNStatus. This is the case of third-party content filter configurations like Little Snitch. \n\nBy default, VPNStatus will hide the Little Snitch content filter configuration. You can override the preference to hide more VPN configurations:\n\n![](Screenshots/SettingsVPNs.png)\n","funding_links":["https://github.com/sponsors/Timac"],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftimac%2Fvpnstatus","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftimac%2Fvpnstatus","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftimac%2Fvpnstatus/lists"}
