Author warns that: This project is not actively maintained, but I will update and improve it from time to time.
Note that the wrapper is written in bash, so it can be run on both platforms where Hummingbird is available, i.e. Linux and macOS.
 

Main features

• graphical interface in the command line to connect to AirVPN with Hummingbird (no Eddie involved)
• runs in background, the interface can be closed/opened anytime without affecting the running connection
• possibility to connect to any server with just one ovpn configuration file
• easily connect to a random server, to a recommended server, to the recommended server of a specific country or to a specific server
• sortable list of all servers including info like used bandwidth, load and number of users
• possibility to connect to other VPNs with openconnect
• lock down system by default (permanently if you want), so even without AirVPN/Hummingbird running there won't be any unwanted network traffic
• automatically establish connection at boot (which can later be controlled via the interface)
• logging of Hummingbird's output (number of days to keep logs for can be adjusted)
• system notifications to let you know what happens in the background
