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

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:

netbird.exe service install --management-url https://vpn.vyntehome.com --admin-url https://vpn.vyntehome.com
netbird.exe service start

Then it runs:

netbird.exe up --management-url https://vpn.vyntehome.com --admin-url https://vpn.vyntehome.com
