OpenVPN Uninstaller
OpenVPN Uninstaller is a macOS component associated with OpenVPN software and is used to remove OpenVPN items from a Mac.
What is OpenVPN Uninstaller?
OpenVPN Uninstaller is a macOS utility component related to OpenVPN software from OpenVPN Inc. Its purpose is to remove installed OpenVPN application components and supporting items from the Mac when a user chooses to uninstall or clean up the software. Users typically encounter it during app removal, troubleshooting, or when replacing an older OpenVPN installation with a newer one. In the OpenVPN ecosystem on macOS, the main user-facing product is OpenVPN Connect, which lets people import VPN profiles and connect to OpenVPN-compatible servers for secure remote access. An uninstaller entry like this is not a general-purpose app for everyday use; it is part of the maintenance and removal workflow for VPN software on macOS.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This item is associated with legitimate VPN software. An uninstaller may request administrator approval because removing VPN components can affect network extensions, helper tools, and app files that were installed system-wide. That kind of access is normal for VPN software removal. If you still use OpenVPN on this Mac, removing it can disable your saved VPN connections or require you to reinstall the app later.
Recommendation: Keep this only if you currently use OpenVPN software or want an easy way to remove or reset it later. If you no longer use OpenVPN, you can remove the uninstaller along with the related app to free space and avoid leaving unused maintenance tools on the Mac.
