Silent install on MacOS with an ovpn file?

Post by jahwerx » Fri Feb 18, 2022 3:01 pm

Hello all and thanks in advance:

I'd like to distribute the OpenVPN client to a bunch of Macs with a "silent install" (no GUI for the users) and have it reference a ovpn file which we created as well.

I think the "minimum requirements" I'm looking for are..
- "Single click" link to send our users (this could either be a link to a script or an attached file)
- Non-interactive. I'd like to eliminate UI.
- Auto import our ovpn file.
- No "first time help" on run

So to net it out: Click here, look for the icon in the system try and click "Connect"

Any guidance is appreciated

Not sure why this question got moved to "off topic", but anyway... TIA

The reason it was moved is because you have not made it clear which OpenVPN Product you have.

I did before and I’m working on a different one now.
Give me a few days and I’ll send you the GitHub.
