+# Vynte Connect for Windows
+
+Vynte Connect for Windows is a tray wrapper around the bundled `netbird.exe` CLI for `https://vpn.vyntehome.com`.
+
+It exposes the same basic flow as the macOS app:
+
+- Connect to `vpn.vyntehome.com`
+- Disconnect the tunnel
+- Log out so the next connect registers with NetBird again
+- Show gateway, internal IP, peer count, and connection state
+
+## Build
+
+Place the Windows NetBird runtime files in `resources/` before packaging:
+
+- `resources/netbird.exe`
+- `resources/wintun.dll`
+
+```powershell
+npm install
+npm run package:win
+```
+
+The packaged app is written to `dist/Vynte Connect-win32-x64/`, and a portable zip is written to `dist/Vynte-Connect-Windows-x64.zip`.
+
+This build intentionally creates a portable Windows app without stamping Windows executable metadata, so it can be built from macOS without Wine.
+
+## Runtime behavior
+
+On first connect, the app uses Windows UAC to install/start the bundled Vynte network helper service:
+
+```powershell
+netbird.exe service install --management-url https://vpn.vyntehome.com --admin-url https://vpn.vyntehome.com
+netbird.exe service start
+```
+
+Then it runs:
+
+```powershell
+netbird.exe up --management-url https://vpn.vyntehome.com --admin-url https://vpn.vyntehome.com
+```
