autovpn

autovpn is a tool to automatically connect you to a random VPN in a country of your choice. It uses openvpn to connect you to a server obtained from VPN Gate.

Compiling

First clone the repo and cd into the directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/adtac/autovpn
$ cd autovpn

Then run this to generate the executable:

$ go build autovpn

It's Go. What do you expect?

Requirements

This requires openvpn. To install this on a yum-based distro:

$ sudo dnf install openvpn

If you're on a apt-based distro:

$ sudo apt-get install openvpn

Tested and works on Fedora 23. Dunno about Windows. Patches welcome.

Usage

Simply run:

$ ./autovpn

and you're done. You'll be connected to a server in the US. Welcome to the US!

You can give a country if you want. For example, if you want to connect to a server in Japan:

$ ./autovpn JP

You may need superuser priviliges. Don't worry, I'm not running rm -rf --preserve-root / underneath. It's for openvpn.

Contributing

All patches welcome! Please run coala over the code before, however:

$ coala

Disclaimer

This is completely insecure. Please do not use this for anything important. Get a real and secure VPN. This is mostly a fun tool to get a VPN for a few minutes.
