Autovpn – Easily connect to a VPN in a country of your choice

Download autovpn
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
Tested and works on Fedora 23. 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!
