## Overview

### All profiles in one place

Passepartout lets you handle multiple profiles in one single place and quickly switch between them.

### Ease of use

With its native look & feel, Passepartout focuses on ease of use. It does so by stripping the .ovpn flags that are today obsolete or rarely used. With good approximation, it mimics the most relevant features you will find in OpenVPN 2.4.x.

### Trusted networks

Trust cellular or Wi-Fi networks to fine-grain your connectivity. You can then choose to retain a VPN connection when entering a trusted network, or prevent it completely.

### See your connection parameters

Passepartout strives for transparency, by showing a fairly detailed yet understandable resume of your connection parameters.

### Disconnect on sleep

Keeping the VPN active in the background provides smoother operation, but may be tough for the battery. You might want to use this feature if you're concerned about battery life. When the device goes to sleep, the VPN will disconnect to then reconnect on device wake-up.

### No unrequested activity

Passepartout is a VPN client and does absolutely nothing else without your consent. The providers infrastructures are obtained via a [static GitHub API][app-api] if and only if you manually refresh them.

### Presets for major providers

Passepartout can connect to a few well-known VPN providers with an existing account:

- [Mullvad][app-net-mullvad]
- [Private Internet Access][app-net-pia]
- [TunnelBear][app-net-tunnelbear]
- ...more soon!

In preset mode, you can pick pre-resolved IPv4 endpoints when DNS is problematic.

### Import .ovpn profiles

Passepartout can import .ovpn configuration files. This way you can fine-tune encryption without tweaking and reimporting a new configuration. 

You can find details on what may or may not work in the related section of the [TunnelKit README][dep-tunnelkit-ovpn].

## Installation

### Requirements

- iOS 11.0+
- Xcode 10+ (Swift 5)
- Git (preinstalled with Xcode Command Line Tools)
- Ruby (preinstalled with macOS)
- [CocoaPods 1.6.0][dep-cocoapods]

It's highly recommended to use the Git and Ruby packages provided by [Homebrew][dep-brew].

### Testing

Download the app codebase locally:

    $ git clone https://github.com/passepartoutvpn/passepartout-ios.git

Assuming you have a [working CocoaPods environment][dep-cocoapods], setting up the app workspace only requires installing the pod dependencies:

    $ pod install

After that, open `Passepartout.xcworkspace` in Xcode and run the `Passepartout-iOS` target.

For the VPN to work properly, the app requires:

- _App Groups_ and _Keychain Sharing_ capabilities
- App IDs with _Packet Tunnel_ entitlements

both in the main app and the tunnel extension target.

Make sure to also update the following constants in `Passepartout/Sources/GroupConstants.swift` according to your developer account and your target bundle identifiers:

    public static let teamId
    public static let appId
    public static let appGroup
    public static let tunnelIdentifier
