Linx, Mac, BSD. Forked from @samm-git's aws-vpn-client.*\n\nSee [samm-git's blog post](https://smallhacks.wordpress.com/2020/07/08/aws-client-vpn-internals/) for the implementation details.\n\n[AWS released Linux desktop client](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2021/06/aws-client-vpn-launches-desktop-client-for-linux/), however, it's extremely buggy and\ndoesn't provide useful logging. Supposedly works on Ubuntu...\n\n## Install\n\n*Please make sure you have Go 1.17+ installed on your system*\n\n### Building Client\n\n1. `$ git clone https://github.com/ajm113/unix-aws-vpn-client.git`\n2. `$ cd unix-aws-vpn-client`\n3. `go build .`\n4. `cp ./unix-aws-vpn-client {TO a DIR that's listed in your $PATH or whatever your personal preference is}`\n\n### Setting Up\n\n1. Inside the root directory run `./unix-aws-vpn-client setup`.\n2. Let it run until it spits out `openvpn_aws` executable. -- You may need to install required dependencies that compiler prints out if it stops.\n3. Move `openvpn_aws` to a directory of your choosing.\n4. Copy/paste this template into your `awsvpnclient.yml` inside `~/.config/awsvpnclient/` folder:\n\n```yml\n\ndebug: false                            # Prints useful debugging information\nbrowser: false                          # Opens the web browser for auth step. Works a little wonky on some distros.\nvpn:\n  openvpn: {path to your openvpn_aws}   # Path to openvpn_aws binary.                        \n  sudo: /bin/sudo                       # Sudo command to run when establishing a tunnel to AWS.    (default is fine for most distros)\n  shell: /bin/sh                        # bash/shell command when establishing a tunnel to AWS.     (default is fine for most distros)\n  shellargs:                            # bash/shell commands to add when executing shell commands. (default is fine for sh)\n    - \"-c\"\nserver:\n  addr: \"127.0.0.1:35001\"              # SAML Server listen address after auth redirect. (default is fine for most setups)\n\n```\n\n### Running Tunnel\n\nAfter everything is compiled and setup. All you have to do now is run:\n\n```bash\n$ unix-aws-vpn-client start --config myvpnfile.ovpn\n```\n\nAfter you successfully authenticated (and sudo login) you should now have a tunnel to AWS.\n\n## Todos\n\n* Add unit testing to code.\n* Graceful shutdown support.\n* General code improvements (typo fixes welcomed!).\n* Improved config documentation w/ improved defaults!\n* Add memes?... idk","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fajm113%2Funix-aws-vpn-client","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fajm113%2Funix-aws-vpn-client","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fajm113%2Funix-aws-vpn-client/lists"}
