What Passepartout is
Passepartout is a freemium VPN client for privacy on Apple platforms, supporting OpenVPN and WireGuard. The free plan provides basic profile importing and connections, Shortcuts automation, endpoint exclusion, and both listed protocols. The App Store listing describes OpenVPN obfuscation through the --scramble option. Network controls include on-demand rules, DNS and HTTP proxy overrides, and custom routing. In-app purchases are required for several features, including on-demand rules, iCloud sharing, secure DNS queries, split DNS, profile export and sharing, and custom routing. Passepartout is available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV; Android and Windows are forthcoming. Standalone Mac downloads support Apple Silicon and Intel but currently provide only free features. The app is described as open source and community-driven. The maker says it does not store or forward personal data. iCloud synchronization is opt-in and disabled by default, with end-to-end profile encryption. OpenVPN compression is unsupported because the maker considers it insecure.
