openvpn3-linux VS amnezia-client

Here is a link to the GitHub thread https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3-linux/issues/171

Its open source, you can build it yourself if there is no package https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3-linux

The git repository is the main source of information, and I tag all the releases with signed tags, where the tag message is the most important details for the release: https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3-linux/releases/tag/v18_beta

If you don't want to add the lines to your profile, it is possible to use a different approach as well. That will require more hacking, and for script purposes I suggest using Python as OpenVPN 3 Linux ships with its own Python module (but you may use any programing/scripting language with D-Bus bindings to do the same). An example script starting a new session with possibility to provide user credentials can be found here: src/tests/python/start-tunnel2.py and to lookup the D-Bus path required for the configuration profile from a configuration name, have a look at this example: src/tests/python/configmgr-lookup-configname.py

You're on the wrong OS. The OpenVPN 3 Linux client actually gives you the ability to pre-install VPN config profiles and allow non-privileged users to start VPN sessions without having access to the content of the profile, though the config-acl feature.

On Linux you can facilitate the OpenVPN 3 Linux client, which exposes all you need via a D-Bus API directly - which should be available via node.js.

There's not much more docs than what's already in the openvpn2 and openvpn3-autoload Python scripts. Plus the various Python test scripts; in particular have a look at configimport.py and start-tunnel2.py. All of them hopefully got a reasonable amount of comments which makes sense.

Some good news amidst this doom and gloom: I just installed AmneziaVPN (https://amnezia.org) on my VPS and it works great so far -- and pretty fast as well.

Maybe if you have set the port forwarding in your router to your mini and setup docker manually (since the install docker script is only designed for Linux distros) you can enable the mac ssh server then login to initiate the setup. I doubt it will run easily though, seems it's never really meant to run on macOS as the server.
