Let's automate it →Tunnel Vision
A Python application for building secure OpenVPN tunnels.
2023 Capstone Project
Tunnel Vision is an innovative OpenVPN client management tool developed as a capstone project to simplify VPN tunnel creation and management for users of all technical backgrounds. Built with Python and PyQt, the application provides an intuitive graphical interface that abstracts away the complexity of VPN configuration, allowing users to create secure connections, select server locations, and adjust tunnel parameters such as names, private IPs, and encryption protocols.
