# 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
|
|
```
