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 Itemstab - From there select
OpenVPN Connectand remove it with the-button at the bottom
Then OpenVPN shouldn’t launch automatically at the next startup. Hope that will be helpful.
