Coverage chart / OVPN
Keep OVPN up to date on your Mac
OVPN is covered by Floodtide. It shows up in your update list the moment a newer version ships. OVPN can also update itself, but only once you open it, and only itself.
How OVPN gets updated
Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where OVPN's developer publishes each release, and Floodtide reads that source directly to learn which version is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version that is out.
The developer publishes the version but no download Floodtide can check, so Floodtide does not install this one itself. The update comes from OVPN's own updater, or from the developer's site.
Questions about OVPN
Does Floodtide update OVPN?
Floodtide tells you when OVPN has an update. OVPN is in Floodtide's signed catalog, which reads the version its developer publishes, so a new release appears in your update list with no configuration. The developer publishes no download Floodtide can check, so the update itself comes from OVPN's own updater or the developer's site.
How does Floodtide install a new version of OVPN?
It does not install this one itself. It shows you the new version as soon as OVPN's developer publishes it, and you update from OVPN's own updater or the developer's site.
