Prevent OpenVPN to start automatically on Mac
I had a bit of struggle to disable OpenVPN from launching automatically at boot on macOS. It doesn’t seem to have any option / checkbox in the softwareto disable launch at boot, so here what I did:
1) Unload OpenVPN daemon using launchctl
:
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openvpn.plist
2) Remove OpenVPN from the Login Items
- Go to
System Preferences
>Users & Groups
- Select your current user and click the
Login Items
tab - From there select
OpenVPN Connect
and remove it with the-
button at the bottom
Then OpenVPN shouldn’t launch automatically at the next startup. Hope that will be helpful.
