AWS Client VPN introduces a rebuilt AWS VPN Client v6.0.x which offers new features like command-line interface (CLI) support, enterprise administrative controls, and faster connection establishment time, making it easier you to automate VPN connectivity and centralize device management across your organization.
The AWS VPN Client CLI provides full feature parity with the GUI. You can now script VPN connections into your automation workflows and infrastructure-as-code deployments. Previously, integrating VPN connectivity into automated environments required third-party tooling or manual intervention. This feature eliminates that by supporting background CLI operations. Previously, you had to distribute VPN profiles among all users in your organization, which could be managed by any user without permissions. Now, with administration controls on AWS client, you can centralize VPN policy enforcement by scoping profiles to specific users, manage global profiles available to all users on a device, and enforce approved VPN configurations across your organization.
The client is rebuilt with OpenVPN3, delivering faster connection establishment across all supported operating systems. You can use both the GUI and CLI together as both run concurrently and VPN connections persist independently of either interface. The rebuilt client v6.0 onwards maintains full backward compatibility with existing AWS Client VPN endpoints, so no endpoint changes are required. The updated AWS VPN Client is available today for Windows (x64/ARM), macOS (x64/ARM), and Linux (x64). There are no additional charges beyond standard pricing of AWS Client VPN. Download the latest client version 6.0.x for macOS, Windows and Linux to start using it.
