Update support pages for OSX El Capitan
I have 2 macbooks with El Capitan. Due to their age no upgrade of the OS is possible.
Now VyprVPN dropped support for EL Capitan thus no bugfixes will be available.
Recently the VyprVPN app stopped working (no connection can get established), so I went through the support pages and noticed the indication of a manual VPN setup with IKEv2 support.
Now fact is that IKEv2 support on these OSs is buggy, every 8 minutes OSX wants to rekey, and the connection breaks.
This issue with IKEv2 is well documented, just google "os x ikev2 failed 8 minutes"So after…

Allow Preconfigured Known Networks for the "Public Wifi Protection"
We use VyprVPN for our Business Public VPN tool for employees who travel/work remotely. It would be nice to be able to preconfigure known networks for the tool, whether it be via .plist or through a MDM solution like JAMF, to auto-load the company SSID so we could push out the tool and settings through MDM. This would require users to automatically connect to VyprVPN on any other network other than the company wifi or their trusted home wifi that they've added to the list themselves.

Use NetworkExtension Framework
Use Apple's NetworkExtension framework instead of kernel extension to implement custom VPN protocols. This way, if Vyprvpn crashes, it won't bring down the whole system.

Hide or remove icon from Dock
Please allow users to hide the app icon in the Dock. When it is in the Task Menu there no need for it to duplicate in the Dock as well.

Faster Country Change
Please allow for faster server change. No need to force user to first disconnect then reconnect. If I want to connect to a new server then disconnection is implied. Let the app handle the disconnect automatically when I request he new server so that I only interact with it once without waiting for the first step to complete.
Also allow server changes from the drop down menu bar (Mac) without opening the full app window.
See Tunnel Bear for how they handle this. It’s easy and seamless.

Show/hide switch for VyprVPN window
Provide a switch to either show or hide the viper VPN window on Mac. Especially on startup, could be hidden. I'm always having to click to close it. Small nuisance.

Command line (CLI) support for Mac OS
Initiative here was to turn on & off VyprVPN as fast as possible so that it requires less attention when it comes to switching. It always happens when you are working in a company that has their own LAN network required to visit internal websites, so you have to switch between internal and external.
These are the few minimal requirements I can think of to make such a CLI utility small but complete:
- option to connect to VyprVPN(of course)
- option of disconnect from VyprVPN
- option to specify which server(ip, alias, or hostname like tw1.vpn.goldenfrog.com) to connect to(you have to change…

Individual app VPN
You have per app functionality for the VPN / But how about making it also pick what region each app opens with. e.g safari opens with USA and another App opens with another region you previously set...
Also be great if you could make Safari bookmarks on the desktop open with specific VPN regions

Keyboard shortcut for "show all server locations"
Like cmd + 1 shows logs, cmd + 2 shows connection graph. In China I often have to see which servers are working for the day...

Switching server within the same country
Let's say I am particularly interested in one country and to be more specific let's say USA where you have many servers located around the US country. Wat I am missing with the VyprVPN is a option like swithing server within the same country meaning that every time the VyprVPN is disconnected when connecting once more it would pick a different location within the same country meaning I would also receive a different IP meaning one step up on the security scalle.
The option I am talking about is simillar to the option picking the fastest server where the VyprVPN…

Add Option to Trust Wired Internet Connections
Please add the ability to set wired connections as trusted. I don't want my Mac to use VyprVPN when I'm connected to Ethernet, or tethering to my phone/tablet/hotspot.

App restart should also restart the service
Today I could not connect to any servers, tried quitting the app, changing protocols, locations, nothing helped.
Service restart helped.
Hence, quitting the app should also stop the service.11 votes -
Increase Contrast & Type Size in IP/Connect Time Bar
Refers to Mac Version 2.12.0.4820b beta: The new and small UI is better than before however the grey on grey information in the VyprVPN IP and connect time bar is very difficult to read on laptops because of the lack of contrast between the type and the background.
This area was made smaller in the new UI and on smaller high res screens it is difficult to find read quickly. Since it refers to the Connect status, perhaps using the same medium blue background would be better along with slightly large and black type face would make it appear more…

In the OS X app, an indicator icon (maybe within the disconnect box) that the kill switch is selected
Could you place an indicator icon that the Kill Switch preference is selected? There are a few websites that I cannot access via VPN and having that reminder icon would be extremely helpful.

Show fastest connection OTHER THAN your current country or a user-selected list of countries
Often users do not want the fastest server if it is within the country that they are currently in. For example, I may be in Indonesia, but I DO NOT want to connect to an Indonesian server for many reasons. Moreover, I may not wish to connect--ever--to servers in the Five Eyes.

Mac OS - Multiple User Accounts
Separate configurations for each user account that don't impact each other. Currently any configuration changes in one account will affect all accounts on the machine. This means I cannot use Kill Switch.
