VPN Reconnection Script on Mac

Mac OS can't reconnect VPN automatically by default once it is disconnected.

This script enables it to reconnect VPN automatically.

How to set up

Execute setup.sh like the following bash command in your mac-vpn-reconnection directory.

cd mac-vpn-reconnection
bash setup.sh YOUR_VPN_NAME

How to delete reconnection settings

Execute kill_vpn_reconnection.sh like the following bash command in your mac-vpn-reconnection directory.

cd mac-vpn-reconnection
bash kill_vpn_reconnection.sh YOUR_VPN_NAME

This YOUR_VPN_NAME is optional. You can delete your reconnection settings without stopping your VPN connection when you execute the command like bash kill_vpn_reconnection.sh without your VPN name.

How to ensure that reconnection settings are set

Execute the following command.

launchctl list | grep reconnectvpn

Output example:

(PID	Status	Label)
-	0	reconnectvpn

Nothing is output if your reconnection settings are not set.

Troubleshooting

Make sure that you execute setup.sh in your mac-vpn-reconnection directory if you get the following output like Status is 127.

(PID	Status	Label)
-	127	reconnectvpn

This script must be executed after you move to your mac-vpn-reconnection directory by executing cd command.
