VPN Client Compatibility#

This document contains a list VPN clients that can be used to connect to the VPN service.

Offical Applications#

Official applications are available on most platforms. These are optimized for working with the VPN software. The official applications are made available with two brand names:

• eduVPN: if you are part of the research and education community and your institution is running the eduVPN service;
• Let’s Connect! everyone else outside this community, or when you run your own server, or someone else runs it for you.

The eduVPN applications only allow you to choose your organization from a curated list. The Let’s Connect! applications allow you to specify a domain of the VPN server to connect to.

The benefit of the official applications is that they will make it much easier for the end user to configure the VPN, and will make sure the VPN keeps working in case configuration updates are required for connecting to the VPN. The other applications may require manual configuration downloads through the user portal to be able to keep using the VPN.

A full list of official applications is available, including their changelogs:

• eduVPN
• Let’s Connect!

Other Applications#

In addition to the official applications, you can also use any OpenVPN or WireGuard compatible client on the platform of your choice.

You need to know the URL of your organization’s server to be able to visit the “portal” to download an OpenVPN or WireGuard configuration file that you can then important in your VPN client.

In case you are using eduVPN, you can find your organization in this list. It will link to the server URL where you need to authenticate before being able to download a configuration file.
