# Viscosity's scripting surface is AppleScript, not a command line, so the

# Folder/Library/Preferences/com.viscosityvpn.Viscosity.plist", connection data

# at "Your Home Folder/Library/Application Support/Viscosity". Windows:

# "C:\Users\<Your Username>\AppData\Roaming\Viscosity\Settings.xml" for the

# settings and "...\AppData\Roaming\Viscosity\OpenVPN" for the connections.

# The two settings files are genuinely different files in different formats,

# not one location under two spellings, so each is written out on its own.

# The connection folders from the same article. An OpenVPN connection is its

# certificate, its private key, and the credentials the user chose to save with

# it — the article's point is that backing this folder up backs up the VPNs

# themselves. Whole-file secret under both spellings: on the Mac the article

# names the Viscosity folder itself as the connection store, on Windows the

# OpenVPN folder inside it. The Mac path is written literally rather than as

# [appData] because the two are at different depths and are not one location.

# No machine_lines or secret_paths: the Mac settings are a property list and

# the Windows settings are XML, and this schema's `format` covers toml, yaml

# and json only, so neither file has a matcher here.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/viscosity. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these keeps all credential files out.
