To use the AWS provided client for Linux, the following is required:
+ Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (AMD64), Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (AMD64 only), or Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (AMD64 only)

For Client VPN endpoints that use SAML-based federated authentication (single sign-on) the client reserves TCP ports 8096-8115 on your computer.

Before you begin, ensure that your Client VPN administrator has [created a Client VPN endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpn/latest/clientvpn-admin/cvpn-working-endpoints.html#cvpn-working-endpoint-create) and provided you with the [Client VPN endpoint configuration file](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpn/latest/clientvpn-admin/cvpn-working-endpoint-export.html). If you want to connect to multiple profiles simultaneously, you'll need a configuration file for each profile.
