Enable System VPN Profile in macOS to support Raycast extension about outline-apps

[khlebobul]

I think this way will work for both the extension and the request for IOS Shortcuts. At the moment, as I understand it, this method does not work due to lack of support

Hi @khlebobul , thanks for contacting us. We'd like to know more information about the user scenario here and what we need to implement for the Raycast. For example, if we implement the VPN profile in macOS, will that work for Raycast?

Hi @jyyi1, I don't really understand your question. You can make an extension for Raycast using TypeScript. I made this request because I saw extensions for using VPN with similar functionality.

Hi @khlebobul , Sorry for the confusion. Let me explain more.

Apple has built-in VPN settings, which we currently don't support very well. But we have a plan to add Outline VPN configuration to it, so the user can directly turn on/off Outline VPN connections using the system Settings UI without launching the Outline app.

My question is, if we add this support, will Raycast automatically recognize it? If so, we wouldn't need to create a Raycast extension. For example, I found one extension that might be used to connect to a pre-configured system VPN configuration.
