CLUSTER VPN-TERMINAL-CONNECTIONS · 10 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-04-18
Terminal VPN management tools
This cluster consists of terminal and command-line interfaces for managing VPN connections, ranging from provider-specific clients for Mullvad, ZeroTier, OpenVPN, and NetBird to a macOS menu-bar client and a Linux desktop GUI. The dated history before the index shows one entry in June 2022, then a gap until March 2026, with entries increasing to five in May 2026. Traction is led by AutoConnect with 6 stars, while other members show 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 10 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
