aws-vpn-client

This is PoC to connect to the AWS Client VPN with OSS OpenVPN using SAML authentication. Tested on macOS and Linux, should also work on other POSIX OS with a minor changes.

See my blog post for the implementation details.

P.S. Recently AWS released Linux desktop client, however, it is currently available only for Ubuntu, using Mono and is closed source.
