One issue with VPN connections on macOS is that they do not automatically reconnect. This script will continually monitor the VPN connection and attempt to reconnect if the connection is lost.
npm install vpnmonTO INSTALL:
npm install -g vpnmon
vpnmon
This will monitor a VPN connection. If the connection is lost it will attempt to reconnect.
