# 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
```
