# [Passepartout][about-website]  [][dep-tunnelkit] [](LICENSE) [][about-testflight] [][about-reddit] [][about-telegram] [](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpassepartoutvpn.app%2F&via=keeshux&text=Passepartout%20is%20an%20user-friendly%2C%20open%20source%20%23OpenVPN%20client%20for%20%23iOS%20and%20%23macOS) Passepartout is a non-official, user-friendly [OpenVPN®][openvpn] client for iOS. ## Beta Passepartout is in [public beta][about-testflight] on TestFlight. ## Overview ### All profiles in one place Passepartout lets you handle multiple profiles in one single place and quickly switch between them. [](res/snap-home.png) ### 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. [](res/snap-profile.png) ### 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. [](res/snap-trusted.png) ### See your connection parameters Passepartout strives for transparency, by showing a fairly detailed yet understandable resume of your connection parameters.

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: - [Private Internet Access][app-net-pia] - ...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. Below are a few limitations worth mentioning. Unsupported: - UDP fragmentation, i.e. `--fragment` - Compression - `--comp-lzo` other than `no` - `--compress` other than empty - Proxy - External file references (inline `` only) - Encrypted client certificate keys Ignored: - MTU overrides - `--*-mtu` and variants - `--mssfix` - Multiple `--remote` with different `host` values (first wins) Many other flags are ignored too but it's normally not an issue. ## Installation ### Requirements - iOS 11.0+ - Xcode 10+ (Swift 4.2) - Git (preinstalled with Xcode Command Line Tools) - Ruby (preinstalled with macOS) - [CocoaPods 1.4.0][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/keeshux/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. ## License This project is licensed under the [GPLv3][license-content]. ### Contributing By contributing to this project you are agreeing to the terms stated in the [Contributor License Agreement (CLA)][contrib-cla].
