This is a helper script designed to integrate OpenVPN with the update-resolv-conf.
First you need the OpenVpn installed in your MacOS.
brew install openvpn
Then you create a folder in the /etc directory
cd /etc
mkdir openvpn
Then you download the update-resolv-conf file and paste it in the /etc/openvpn folder, after that, use the command below to give permission:
chmod +X update-resolv-conf
Open the .ovpn file and and find the following lines and keep as below:
For no systemd Linux
up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
For systemd Linux
#up /etc/openvpn/update-systemd-resolved
#down /etc/openvpn/update-systemd-resolved
Run the command:
export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:$PATH
sudo openvpn --auth-nocache --config YourDirectory/File.ovpn
If you have problems with the connection, follow:
Open Network Preferences -> Advanced -> DNS
In DNS Servers add Google DNS (8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4), if it's not already there, or other DNS of your choice.
