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 β€” 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 β€’ SAML / SSO sign-in through your own identity provider β€” nothing to remember, nothing stored β€’ Import standard .ovpn client configuration files from your administrator β€’ Manage multiple VPN profiles and connect with a single tap β€’ Live connection log for quick diagnostics β€’ Profiles stored encrypted on device β€’ Built on the open-source go-openlawsvpn engine PRIVACY β€’ The app stores no username or password β€” authentication happens entirely through your identity provider in the browser. β€’ 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. β€’ 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 β€Ί Apple Account β€Ί Subscriptions.
