Hello!
My apologies for the delay in reply. The Brave Firewall + VPN is coming to desktop soon! We are still in the process of testing these new platforms including Windows/Mac devices. Please stay tuned.
I am on an iMac and looking forward to having the VPN and Firewall.

## Description
Part of parent issue https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/iss… ues/15804
The goal here would be to create an implementation in `brave-core` which handles VPN on macOS. Each OS can provide an OS specific implementation for a "VPN Service".
This would need the ability to:
- Create a VPN connection with the OS.
- Update a connection (if details change)
- Connect to the VPN
- Disconnect from the VPN
- Remove the VPN connection from the OS
We should be able to do an implementation similar to [what was done on iOS](https://github.com/brave/brave-ios/pull/2740). Also see files in https://github.com/brave/brave-ios/tree/development/Client/Frontend/BraveVPN (@iccub lead the implementation on iOS)
