Announcements
May 31, 2021: Work started on purge-wrangler replacement: Kryptonite that allows for SIP, FileVault, and ART to remain enabled while providing eGPU support.
Nov 18, 2020: macOS 11.1 works as expected.
Nov 17, 2020: Please avoid macOS 11.1 for now.
Sept 28, 2020: macOS Big Sur support is now available with PurgeWrangler 6.3.0.
June 27, 2020: Early testing for purge-wrangler support for macOS Big Sur is now available for advanced users. Please refer to the advanced handbook.
June 23, 2020: PurgeWrangler currently does not support macOS Big Sur and requires an update to function properly. On some systems, it may be possible to execute the script, however, I recommend TB1/2 users avoid updating until the script is updated.

Incredible job! Just went through the bash script and saw the wonderful job you did making it as easy as possible on patching and uninstalling if anything goes wrong!
Keep up the good work 👏

Nice job dude! Glad we could figure this out so quickly and provide a working solution for all TB2 users out there. I will also try using the script tonight and let you know the outcome.
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.

Thank you for that hint in our private discussion. Was an eye-opener of sorts. 🙌

OMG! Will this work with hot plug feature too? I'm looking forward to try it in a few hours. Great work. Thank you!

Native eGPU support as if its a TB3 mac. Should not be a problem as far as I can tell in my tests. Macs with NVIDIA dGPUs still require my other patch to get things going.
