VPN Config

Generate iOS/OS X configuration profiles for VPNs.

Only L2TP Private Internet Access VPNs are supported out of the box at the moment, but it's possible to provide your own data file (pull requests are also welcome, if you want to add support for your VPN provider).

Installation

A working Ruby is required (preferably Ruby 2.2.0 or above).

Install it in the usual manner:

gem install vpn-config

Usage

To get basic help, run: vpn-config help

For information on a specific command: vpn-config help COMMAND

Generate a signed configuration file

To generate a configuration file for the default VPN Provider (Private Internet Access), run:

vpn-config generate test.mobileconfig --username=foo --password=bar

To sign the configuration file, also give the --sign argument:

vpn-config generate test.mobileconfig --username=foo --password=bar --sign

To select specific endpoints, use the --endpoints option:

vpn-config generate test.mobileconfig --username=foo --password=bar --sign  \
--endpoints "US East" "Canada" "Hong Kong"

To sign with your own certificate, simply provide the path and passphrase (the certificate must be a PKCS12 file):

vpn-config generate test.mobileconfig --username=foo --password=bar --sign \
--certificate-path my.p12 --certificate-pass SuperSecret

Supply your own data file

If you wish, you can use your own VPN list instead of the built-in list:

vpn-config generate test.mobileconfig --username=foo --password=bar --sign \
--data-file mydata.yml --provider "My Provider"

Use the data/providers.yml file as an example of how to format your list.

Private Internet Access L2TP credentials

Don't try to use your PIA account credentials to log in to PIA VPNs. Instead you will find a separate set of credentials on the Client Control Panel:

Generate the credentials if you haven't already…
