Alfred workflow that can show and change your network settings: Wi-Fi, Ethernet, VPN, DNS, etc.
This is a collection of the functionalities of already existing network-oriented workflows that I found half-baked or stalled. Improved on performance, usability and details.
- Type
wifi
to show Wi-Fi info and enable/disable. - Type
eth
to show ethernet info (if connected). - Type
wifilist
to scan for Wi-Fi hotspots. - Type
vpn
to list configured VPNs and connect. - Type
dns
to list and change DNS settings.
Requires Alfred 3 and Powerpack for installing this extension. Might behave differently on macOS versions older than 10.7 Lion. This workflow is primarily implemented in Bash with a little help from AppleScript.
bats is used for automatic testing of Bash functionality. Install with brew install bats
using brew.
Run tests: bats tests
- Basic functionality

- Use optional parameters for unit tests
- Bluetooth list
Contributions, bug reports and feature requests are very welcome.
