CP VPN Client

A macOS tray app with “Connect” / “Disconnect” VPN buttons and status indicators (🟢/🔴/⚪︎). Works with Cisco AnyConnect CLI (/opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpn).

You can use package from releases(you need to fill config) or build app by yourself.

Configuration After the first run, a config.json file will be created next to the app. Fill it with:
