Rust/Tauri OpenConnect helper

oc-oxide

A desktop VPN helper that keeps OpenConnect protocol handling in libopenconnect and moves profile, route, DNS, diagnostics, and UI control into a Rust daemon architecture.

Linux install

One command for the latest release

curl -LsSf https://oc-oxide.glp.ai/install.sh | sh

The installer downloads the latest GitHub Release artifact, verifies the SHA-256 checksum, and installs the Debian package when available.

GitHub integration

Used only for profile synchronization

Non-secret profile snapshots

GitHub sync stores profile snapshots that exclude VPN passwords, OTP codes, cookies, private keys, and daemon tokens.

No VPN secrets in sync

Passwords, OTP codes, session cookies, private keys, router credentials, and daemon tokens are not stored in GitHub.

Narrow repository access

The planned GitHub App is scoped to repository contents for a user-selected private sync repository.

Architecture

Daemon-owned VPN control plane

The Tauri desktop app is an unprivileged client. A daemon owns libopenconnect, TUN setup, route policy, DNS policy, cancellation, recovery, and IPC state. The project is Linux-first today, with crate boundaries designed so route, DNS, and privilege backends can grow per platform.
