A simple tool to run your shell command on your iOS device. You may want to do some frequent tasks when you were out of office, or no working computer to link to remote machine. You can set a command to run after you login through this app, and make it done. *** It is not a terminal or console though it looks like, and to which we are working on :-) That is, you cannot do interactive work within app.

About

OpenLawsVPN Client

Features
Read full description

OpenlawsVPN is a secure, independent client for AWS Client VPN endpoints that authenticate with SAML / SSO. Connect to your organization's network using the same single sign-on you already use for work — Google Workspace, Okta, AWS IAM Identity Center, Microsoft Entra ID, and other SAML identity providers. No passwords are ever stored in the app. When you connect, sign-in opens with your identity provider, reuses your existing SSO session where possible, and supports multi-factor authentication. Once you've signed in, the encrypted tunnel is established automatically. FEATURES • SAML / SSO sign-in through your own identity provider — nothing to remember, nothing stored • Import standard .ovpn client configuration files from your administrator • Manage multiple VPN profiles and connect with a single tap • Live connection log for quick diagnostics • Profiles stored encrypted on device • Built on the open-source go-openlawsvpn engine PRIVACY • The app stores no username or password — authentication happens entirely through your identity provider in the browser. • During sign-in the app briefly listens only on your device's private loopback address (127.0.0.1) to receive the secure token. It never accepts connections from the network and does not scan other devices. • No analytics, no tracking, no user data collection. REQUIREMENTS OpenlawsVPN connects to AWS Client VPN endpoints configured for SAML federated authentication. You need a .ovpn profile from your administrator (or your company's VPN portal) and an account with your organization's identity provider. SUBSCRIPTION Full access requires an auto-renewing subscription. A free trial is offered; after the trial it renews monthly until canceled. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.

It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or supported by Amazon.
