Is there a way to configure vpnutil to ignore some of the VPNs? #25

Thank you for these beautiful tool!

I tried the suggested option defaults write org.timac.VPNStatus IgnoredVPNs "Little Snitch,HiddenVPN,AnotherHiddenVPN", but I guess it works only for the VPNStatus app, while I'm solely using the cli one.

So the question is there a way to hide some of the VPNs from the list?

The command line tool vpnutil has no embedded info.plist. As such it has no BundleID and can't load the preferences that you could set using:

defaults write org.timac.vpnutil IgnoredVPNs "Little Snitch,HiddenVPN,AnotherHiddenVPN"

The right solution would be to embed an Info.plist as I documented for other command line tools here: https://blog.timac.org/2021/0516-mac-app-store-embedding-a-command-line-tool-using-paths-as-arguments/#infoplist

@skoch13 I added the embedded Info.plist. If you recompile the command line tool vpnutil, you should now be able to hide the VPNs using:

defaults write org.timac.vpnutil IgnoredVPNs "Little Snitch,HiddenVPN,AnotherHiddenVPN"
