THIS PROJECT IS UNMAINTAINED.
I wrote this a long time ago and I do not use or maintain this script any more. Using this will very likely cause permanent nuclear winter everywhere, so just look for something better, alright? I'll likely delete the project soon so that I don't distribute potentially insecure tools.

autovpn is a tool to automatically connect you to a random VPN in a country of your choice. It uses openvpn to connect you to a server obtained from VPN Gate.

Compiling

First clone the repo and cd into the directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/adtac/autovpn
$ cd autovpn

Then run this to generate the executable:

$ go build autovpn.go

It's Go. What do you expect?

Requirements

This requires openvpn.

To install this on a yum-based distro:

$ sudo dnf install openvpn

If you're on a apt-based distro:

$ sudo apt-get install openvpn

And on Mac OSX:

$ brew install openvpn
$ # add the executable to your path
$ export PATH=$(brew --prefix openvpn)/sbin:$PATH

Tested and works on Fedora 23 and MacOS Sierra 10.12.6. Dunno about Windows. Patches welcome.

Usage

Simply run:

$ ./autovpn

and you're done. You'll be connected to a server in the US. Welcome to the US!

You can give a country if you want. For example, if you want to connect to a server in Japan:

$ ./autovpn JP

You may need superuser privileges. Don't worry, I'm not running rm -rf --no-preserve-root / underneath. It's for openvpn.

Contributing

All patches welcome!

This is completely insecure. Please do not use this for anything important. Get a real and secure VPN. This is mostly a fun tool to get a VPN for a few minutes.
