vpnd: Start the daemon.
$ vpnd
try on your machine

The "vpnd" command is a command-line utility used to initiate or manage a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection on a device. VPNs are used to create a secure and private network connection over a public network, usually the internet.

The "vpnd" command typically starts the VPN daemon or service on a device. A daemon is a background process that runs continuously and performs specific tasks. In this case, the VPN daemon handles all the necessary operations to establish and maintain a VPN connection.

When you execute the "vpnd" command, it will start the VPN service and configure the necessary network settings to ensure a secure connection. The exact functionality and parameters of the "vpnd" command might vary depending on the operating system and VPN software being used.

Once the VPN is set up, all network traffic from your device will be encrypted and routed through the VPN server. This helps protect your data privacy and security, as it creates a secure tunnel between your device and the VPN server, preventing unauthorized access or eavesdropping on your internet activities.
