VPN is an essential part of online security … you don’t want your connection to drop unnoticed!

►►► Important

VPN Monitor does not include a VPN service/subscription and it will not block outgoing traffic while the VPN connection is down. At least one ‘default’ VPN service should be manually configured under ‘System Preferences > Network’. See VPN Monitor’s built-in help for details on correct VPN configuration.

►►► Operation

The App gets notified of changes in macOS network connection status and immediately takes the required actions. Its efficient connect, reconnect and fallback approach ensures carefree operation. There is no CPU intensive ‘status polling’ involved (as in AppleScripts or other Apps).

It has secured my network connection whenever I’m away from a trusted network. I now no longer keep checking if my VPN connection is on! One less thing to worry about.

Keeps me connected all the time and reconnects quickly if I get dropped from my office VPN. Great tool that’s worth the small price to avoid frustrations and wasted time.
