vpngate

This is a client for vpngate.net.

This client fetches the list of available relay servers provided by vpngate.net. Once connected to a relay server, speed tests kick off to determine latency, upload speed and download speed.

You can check out your current IP address and region at https://nordvpn.com/what-is-my-ip/, or simply run curl ipinfo.io in a terminal.

Requirements

openvpn
macOS or Linux

Install

Ensure that go is installed.

$ go get github.com/davegallant/vpngate

MacOS

OpenVPN can be installed with homebrew.

$ brew install openvpn

Usage

List Available VPNs

$ vpngate list

Connect to a VPN

Because openvpn creates a network interface, run the connect command with sudo or a user with escalated privileges.

On macOS, export path by using export PATH=$(brew --prefix openvpn)/sbin:$PATH (this can be run each time in a terminal or put in a bash/zsh profile)

$ sudo vpngate connect

Random

If the country doesn't matter, a random VPN can be selected:

$ sudo vpngate connect --random

Notes

I do not maintain any of the VPN servers on vpngate.net. Connect to these VPN servers at your own discretion
Many of the listed servers claim to have a logging policy of 2 weeks

Todo

Allow for servers to be cycled periodically (--cycle)
