Viscosity.app workflow

[schleifer]

Howdy All,

 

I've written a workflow that works with Viscosity, which you can use to start or stop OpenVPN connections.

 

The configured keyword is 'vpn'. That will show all of your configured networks:

 

 

And autocomplete (case-insensitively) on the argument, if one is provided:

 

 

You can inspect the source on Github.

 

Here's some commands you can run in Terminal that will import it into Alfred:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows
curl https://nodeload.github.com/andrewschleifer/viscosity-alfredworkflow/zip/master > \
    viscosity-alfredworkflow.zip
unzip viscosity-alfredworkflow.zip
rm viscosity-alfredworkflow.zip

 

New Feature Update:

 

1. The subtitle now tells you if actioning that selection will connect or disconnect from that network.

2. There are Connect All/Disconnect All operations that will act on all VPN connections you've defined.

Download doesn't work anymore, can you up it again somewhere?

Just zip up the github files. If you want I will upload a copy that I zipped but it won't be from the dev directly... let me know.

I've updated the original post to remove the dead link and described how to load the workflow into Alfred.

I had made a Viscosity workflow before I noticed yours:

 

https://github.com/danieldk/viscosity-workflow

 

Mine also shows the server names as the subtitles. But yours is definitely more reliable against changes in configuration file paths .

I really like how the subtext shows the ip of the vpn. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with twinpeaks -- Showing the hostname is a really cool addition. Your version also doesn't need the app running to get the list of connections.

I've added a couple new features and updated the main post to describe them.

Hi Andrew,

 

I'm keen to use your workflow, but am having problems getting it to show in Alfred. I've downloaded the zip file from Github, but I'm not sure what to do from here? I've tried renaming the zip extension to .alfredworkflow, amongst other things. Otherwise I have tried directly importing using the commands you've given in Terminal, but it just doesn't show in the workflows pane.

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Paul

Thanks!
