`brew install openvpn`
If you don’t have Homebrew, first install it following the instructions at https://brew.sh/.
Once OpenVPN is installed, you can use one of the many available configuration files. For example, to connect to a remote server at 192.168.1.1 using the UDP protocol on port 1194, you would use a config file like this:
“`client
dev tun
proto udp
remote 192.168.1.1 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt # (optional) if your VPN requires client authentication cipher AES-256-CBC # If your server uses a different encryption method, change it here auth SHA256 # This must be changed to “sha512” if your server uses that algorithm comp-lzo # (optional) for data compression verb 3 # (optional) controls debugging output; increase for more verbose logging“`
