Deprecated ⚠️

pritunl-client now has its own CLI: https://docs.pritunl.com/docs/command-line-interface

pritunlctl will only work for older versions of the pritunl GUI, see below under Caveats.

---

Unofficial CLI for Pritunl

With support for starting & stopping a VPN connection managed by the Pritunl app.

Getting Started

Requirements

You must have the Pritunl app installed with an ovpn profile configured. See caveats below.

Install as CLI

yarn global add pritunlctl

OR

npm install --global pritunlctl

Usage

Usage: pritunlctl <command>

commands:

- start
- auto
- stop
- config
- help

start will prompt you for your OTP code, unless you use config to set your Pritunl OTP token on your keychain for auto-generated codes.

auto will attempt to connect without an OTP code or password provided your profile supports it.

Caveats

• Does not support all connection methods (just OTP with start and push 2FA with auto)
• It assumes you have the Pritunl GUI app installed with a profile already configured.
• This software relies on the filesystem set by the Pritunl app which may be subject to change in future versions.
