Commonly Asked Questions
What features can I customize with AppleScript?
AppleScript can be used to change the state of VyprVPN with operations such as: Login, Logout, Connect, and Disconnect. You can also access and change the properties of the application such as the logged-in state, the connected state, the application appearance, and various user preferences.
What are the benefits of AppleScript for VyprVPN?
AppleScript streamlines workflows that involve the use of VyprVPN.
For example, if you had a workflow that consisted of performing network operations in various applications, you could incorporate calls to VyprVPN to connect to various locations in order to simulate being at those locations and/or provide security. If your pattern of use for VyprVPN is predictable, you can automate various use cases via AppleScript.
Does creating scripts mean that I do not have to use the application?
The scripts do use the application. If you execute a script that controls the application, it would cause the application to launch. Therefore, the application must still be installed on your computer. AppleScript can take the place of interfacing with the application, however.
Can I call/use custom scripts with my Mac’s Terminal?
Yes, you can execute AppleScripts from the command line using the "osascript" command.
