homebrewvpn
I recently switched to Macbook pro (Mojave) and would like to have an OpenVPN client installed. In Linux systems I've been always using openvpn from within command line. I just want to know if it would work flawlessly as in macOS.
I see that everyone recommend Tunnelblick, or paid options such as Viscosity but i prefer free and open source solutions.
Edit the file /Applications/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Resources/client.up.osx.sh and add these commands at the end of the file, just before exit 0 :
su USERNAME -c '
mkdir /Volumes/TimeCapsule
mount_afp afp://afp_username@server/volumename /Volumes/TimeCapsule
'
open /Volumes/TimeCapsule
Replace USERNAME with your username on the system.
Then add the following at the end of /Applications/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Resources/client.down.osx.sh :
umount /Volumes/TimeCapsule
Do not forget to check the set nameserver option for your configuration :
Warning : Configuration files client.(up|down).osx.sh are executed for every connections made using OpenVPN.
This could also be made using launchd for watching if the vpn connection is up, but I don't know how to use launchd.
Fixed with:
$ brew edit gpg-agent
- mirror "ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.0.26.tar.bz2"
+ mirror "http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.0.26.tar.bz2"
$ brew install gpg-agent
$ brew install gnupg2

According to it's official website:
When I used Tunnelblick, it worked flowlessly with MacOS. So I would recommend to go forward to run:
When you choose a software for Mac, if it's included in home brew or home brew cask package list or not is one point to consider. See if it's useful enough or popular enough to be a brew package.
