Eddie

What is Eddie?

Eddie is a desktop VPN client that helps users create encrypted VPN connections on macOS and other desktop platforms. It is developed by AirVPN and is designed for people who want direct control over VPN connections, servers, protocols, and routing behavior rather than a simplified one-click experience. On Mac, users commonly install it to connect to AirVPN, manage OpenVPN or WireGuard sessions, review connection status, and adjust network settings related to privacy and tunneling. The app also includes command-line use for more advanced workflows. Eddie is best suited to users who are comfortable with detailed VPN options and want an open-source client with both graphical and CLI-based control.

Key features

• Connect to VPN services using OpenVPN and WireGuard
• Manage VPN sessions through a desktop interface on macOS, Windows, and Linux
• Review server, connection, and tunnel status information
• Adjust routing, DNS, and other connection settings for advanced control
• Use command-line operation for scripted or terminal-based workflows
• Switch between servers and connection profiles as needed

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

Eddie is legitimate VPN software, and its network access and connection management are normal for that purpose. Because it handles VPN tunnels and related network settings, using it can change how your Mac routes internet traffic while connected. Keep your settings and server choices intentional, and only use VPN profiles or providers you trust.

Recommendation: Keep Eddie if you use it for VPN access or privacy-focused networking. Remove it if you no longer use this VPN client, knowing that uninstalling it will stop its saved VPN connections and related app features until you reinstall it.
