This is a macOS statusbar item (aka menubar icon) that wraps wg-quick.
- Sit in your menubar
- Indicate if tunnels are connected
- Bring tunnel up/down via one click
- Fail miserably when brew/wg-quick is not installed or permissions on files are incorrect
- Follow the instruction to install WireGuard for macOS: https://www.wireguard.com/install/
- Create a tunnel configuration file (eg:
/usr/local/etc/wireguard/utun1.conf) - Make sure the file is readable by your user (
sudo chown :staff /usr/local/etc/wireguard/utun1.conf; sudo chmod g+r /usr/local/etc/wireguard/utun1.conf) - Download this App from Releases
- Open the .dmg and copy the Application to where you like (eg: /Applications)
- The next bit is needed because I don't have a Apple Developer account to properly sign the binary. If you don't like it consider building and signing the application yourself.
- Start the App and get a dialog indicating the app is not signed
- Go to: Preferences->Security & Privacy->General and click "Open Anyway"
