Connect to an AWS Client VPN endpoint using an OpenVPN client application

These sections describe how to establish a VPN connection using either OpenVPN - Network Manager or OpenVPN.

Before you begin, ensure that your Client VPN administrator has created a Client VPN endpoint and provided you with the Client VPN endpoint configuration file.

For troubleshooting information, see Troubleshooting AWS Client VPN connections with Linux-based clients.

Important

If the Client VPN endpoint has been configured to use SAML-based federated authentication, you cannot use the OpenVPN-based VPN client to connect to a Client VPN endpoint.
