Passepartout is a user-friendly OpenVPN® and WireGuard® client for Apple platforms. The OpenVPN stack also implements the Tunnelblick XOR patch.
Passepartout lets you handle multiple profiles in one single place and quickly switch between them.
With its native look & feel, Passepartout focuses on ease of use. It does so by stripping the flags that are today obsolete or rarely used. With good approximation, it mimics the most relevant features you will find in the official OpenVPN and WireGuard clients.
Not to mention iCloud support, which makes your VPN profiles available on all your devices without any additional effort!
Define rules for Wi-Fi, cellular (iOS) or wired (macOS) networks to fine-grain how you automate your VPN connectivity.
Enjoy the convenience of Siri shortcuts to automate frequent VPN actions.
Override default gateway, DNS (plus DoH/DoT), proxy and MTU settings right from the app. Don't bother editing the configuration file or your server settings. This is especially useful if you want to override your provider settings, e.g. to integrate your own DNS-based ad blocking.
Passepartout strives for transparency, by showing a fairly detailed yet understandable resume of your connection parameters.
Keeping the VPN active in the background provides smoother operation, but may be tough for the battery. You might want to use this feature if you're concerned about battery life. When the device goes to sleep, the VPN will disconnect to then reconnect on device wake-up.
Passepartout is a VPN client and does absolutely nothing else without your consent. The providers infrastructures are obtained via a static GitHub API if and only if you manually refresh them.
Passepartout can connect to a few well-known VPN providers with an existing account:
- Hide.me
- Mullvad
- NordVPN
- Oeck
- Private Internet Access
- ProtonVPN
- SurfShark
- TorGuard
- TunnelBear
- VyprVPN
- Windscribe
In preset mode, you can pick pre-resolved IPv4 endpoints when DNS is problematic.
Passepartout can import .ovpn (OpenVPN) and .conf/.wg (WireGuard) configuration files as is. You can find details on what may or may not work in the related section of the TunnelKit README.
- iOS 15+ / macOS 12+ / tvOS 17+
- Xcode 13+ (SwiftPM 5.3)
- Git (preinstalled with Xcode Command Line Tools)
- Ruby (preinstalled with macOS)
- golang
It's highly recommended to use the Git and Ruby packages provided by Homebrew.
Download the app codebase locally:
$ git clone https://github.com/passepartoutvpn/passepartout-apple.git
Enter the directory and clone the submodules:
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
For everything to work properly, make sure to comply with all the capabilities/entitlements, both in the main app and the tunnel extension target.
Make sure to update Config.xcconfig according to your developer account and your identifiers:
CFG_TEAM_ID = A1B2C3D4E5
CFG_APP_ID = com.example.MyApp
CFG_APP_LAUNCHER_ID = com.example.MyApp.Launcher // macOS only
CFG_GROUP_ID = com.example.MyAppGroup // omit the "group." prefix
CFG_APPSTORE_ID = 1234567890 // optional for development, can be bogus
Also, PATH must include your golang installation in order to compile WireGuardKit:
PATH = $(PATH):/path/to/golang
To eventually test the app, open Passepartout.xcodeproj in Xcode and run the Passepartout target.
