The following article describes where VPN Tracker stores its data in case you need to make manual backups instead of using Time Machine.

VPN Tracker stores all its data files in the standard system locations as recommended by Apple. Depending on the fact if these are system-wide or per-user files, they are either found in /Library (system-wide) or ~/Library (per-user), where ~ is a placeholder meaning "home of the current active user".

To access the system-wide library folder:

  • In Finder Choose "Go" > "Go to Folder ..."
  • Enter /Library

To access the user library folder:

  • In Finder Choose "Go" > "Go to Folder ..."
  • Enter ~/Library

VPN shortcuts, all information related to your equinux ID, accounting data, scanner results, and window positions are per-user settings.

For a full backup of all your settings, you need to backup the following files and folders:

  • /Library/Application Support/VPN Tracker 365
  • /Library/Preferences/com.vpntracker.365mac.plist
  • ~/Library/Application Support/VPN Tracker 365
  • ~/Library/Preferences/com.vpntracker.365mac.plist

Backup your keychain
Please note that passwords in VPN Tracker are usually not stored in any of the locations named above but in your keychain. If you have no external backup of all your passwords, be sure to also backup your keychains which can be found in ~/Library/Keychains
