# Vynte Connect
# Vynte Connect for Windows
Vynte Connect is the branded client wrapper for the Vynte NetBird VPN at `https://vpn.vyntehome.com`.
Vynte Connect for Windows is a tray wrapper around the bundled `netbird.exe` CLI for `https://vpn.vyntehome.com`.
This source tree contains:
It exposes the same basic flow as the macOS app:
- `apps/vynte-connect`: macOS 14 SwiftUI menu bar app.
- `apps/vynte-connect-windows`: Windows Electron tray app.
- `docs/vynte-connect-design-spec.md`: product and UI behavior notes.
- `scripts/fetch-netbird-assets.mjs`: fetches the official NetBird runtime assets needed for packaging.
- 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
The apps do not implement VPN networking themselves. They bundle and drive the official NetBird CLI, install/start the local NetBird helper service when needed, then poll `netbird status --json` until the tunnel is ready.
## Build
## Prepare NetBird Assets
Place the Windows NetBird runtime files in `resources/` before packaging:
Downloaded binaries are intentionally ignored by git. Fetch them before packaging:
- `resources/netbird.exe`
- `resources/wintun.dll`
```bash
node scripts/fetch-netbird-assets.mjs
```
To pin a version:
```bash
NETBIRD_VERSION=v0.71.4 node scripts/fetch-netbird-assets.mjs
```
## macOS
```bash
cd apps/vynte-connect
swift build -c release
./Scripts/package-zip.sh
```
Output:
- `apps/vynte-connect/dist/Vynte Connect.app`
- `apps/vynte-connect/dist/Vynte-Connect-macOS.zip`
## Windows
```bash
cd apps/vynte-connect-windows
```powershell
npm install
npm run package:win
```
Output:
The packaged app is written to `dist/Vynte Connect-win32-x64/`, and a portable zip is written to `dist/Vynte-Connect-Windows-x64.zip`.
- `apps/vynte-connect-windows/dist/Vynte Connect-win32-x64/`
- `apps/vynte-connect-windows/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.
The Windows package is a portable x64 app bundle. It is not code-signed and does not stamp 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
```
