Yet another VPN activator

[Gaetano]

Hi,

this is a workflow to activate an existing VPN profile, it allows you to connect and to disconnect (a lot of features!).

As usual, the VPN profile has to be available in the current Network Location.

If you don't have any VPN connection, I think you should setup one just to try this workflow 

 

Here is how it looks like

 

and, as usual, you can download it from here.

 

Have a lot of fun

This workflow seems to be broken in the last release (v2.1 - 218).

 

The action shows up in the list when you start typing the keyword "vp" of "vpn",

but when you completely typed "vpn" or pressed return on the result list, the action disappears (replaced by fallback actions: search on google, amazon, ...)

 

Any ideas ?

I am having the same issue. I only noticed it after upgrading to Mavericks so not sure if it was the Alfred 2.1 update to the upgrade to Mavericks that caused this for me.

Thank you for your alerts,

I will check it in short and let you know once I will be back home from work :-)

Dear friends,

I tried several times the scenario described above but, honestly, I was unable to reproduce the problem because it works smoothly both on my iMac and on the Macbook Air. I can try to investigate more and come back to you

Hello! I had exact same problem.

If the "Filter script" run in the AppleScript editor I receive error:

error "System Events got an error: Can’t get current configuration of service \"FireWire\" of current location of network preferences."

 

In the "Filter script" i'm find line:

 

set srvList to get name of every service whose (kind is greater than 8)

 

and replace  than 8 -> that 9

 

set srvList to get name of every service whose (kind is greater than 9)

 

Now all works.

Well, I can only say a big thank you, spoterianski.

I am still trying to reproduce this problem because on my Macbook Air with mavericks it doesn't happen.

Your suggestion is really helpful!

 

Have a nice day
