[Connect to VPN] Cannot connect to VPN about extensions HOT 4 CLOSED

@rasmusbe Thanks you for the response. Admin password is not required and I cannot supply the password to the networksetup command, nor does it ask for one.

I guess I'll just have to use the System Preferences panel to connect. (I have also tried using scutil and vpnutil (https://github.com/Timac/VPNStatus))

from extensions.

Thank you for opening this issue!

🔔 @rasmusbe @sato11 you might want to have a look.

Not sure if it helps, but this is from the networksetup help command

Any command that takes a password, will accept - to indicate the password should be read from stdin.

The networksetup tool requires at least admin privileges to change network settings. If the "Require an administrator password to access system-wide preferences" option is selected in System Preferences > Security & Privacy, then root privileges are required to change network settings.

Could it be either that the VPN requires password input or that you require admin password? The setting was hidden under the Advanced button in Security & Privacy in my system.

If that doesn't help I would say that the bug is in the MacOS built in networksetup command and not in the extension, and probably not something we can solve 😞
