概要
Create Mac OS VPNs programmatically
履歴
macosvpn is a Swift command-line tool for creating and deleting macOS VPN network services programmatically. The README documents support for L2TP over IPSec and Cisco IPSec configurations.
The official repository was created in July 2014. The README's own history section says the implementation began from research into Apple's networking discussions and practical examples for manipulating VPN configuration, shared secrets, traffic routing, and System Keychain entries.
The project packages that undocumented macOS VPN configuration knowledge into a CLI with create and delete commands. Its README emphasizes that administrator privileges are required because VPN passwords are stored in the System Keychain, and it explicitly chooses sudo over a separate HelperTool.
macosvpn is distributed through Homebrew according to both the README and the batch input, and the README also points users to compiled GitHub release binaries. Repository metadata captured during this run showed several hundred GitHub stars and dozens of forks, indicating durable adoption among Mac administrators and automation users.
Typical usage is `sudo macosvpn create --l2tp <name> --endpoint <host> --username <user> --password <password> --sharedsecret <secret>` or the Cisco IPSec variant. The README also documents flags such as `--force`, `--split`, disconnect behavior options, repeated arguments for creating multiple VPNs, and `macosvpn delete` for removing one or more services.
macosvpn is significant because VPN profiles are often part of fleet setup, CI test machines, and repeatable laptop provisioning, but macOS historically made this hard to automate with plain shell tools. A Homebrew-installable CLI gives package nerds a way to put VPN setup next to the rest of a bootstrap script.
