What work would be needed here to add macOS support? I have some free time and this project looks incredibly interesting.

Hi @jalavosus, thanks for your interest!

There are parts that are platform-dependent:

1. system tray (for awl-tray) - I expect it to work out of the box, but it still needs testing

2. VPN

• this code in driver, it should create virtual network interface (this part should work already), set interface IP and subnet, set MTU
• as I understand macOS allows interface names only in form utun[0-9], but awl currently use awl0. We need to change the default for macOS here

3. awldns - setting DNS resolver for .awl domains on system level
   This part should also already be working.

4. Automatically elevate privileges to root in order to have access to TUN driver. On Linux it's sudo or pkexec, but I don't know how root permissions work on macOS.

5. Packaging. Do macOS needs something more fancy than go build?

6. Auto-updates. We use this library, it works well for Linux and Windows, but it wasn't tested on macOS

Important points are 2, 4 and 5. I expect it shouldn't be much work, but it requires time to research on them.

Hope this helps, if you need anything, just ask here.

With the caveat of "zero promises", I'll take a look in my free time.

Hey @jalavosus, any luck?

macOS is fully supported as of the master branch, it will be available in the next release soon. The only missing is auto update feature, but I'm not sure this is possible due to "security" model of macOS (all new unsigned binaries are put in quarantine until user explicitly allows it to run). Probably we should completely hide auto updates feature on macOS in future releases.
