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. AWS SAML-based Client VPN connections are officially supported only by the AWS-provided client; for AWS-supported operation, use the AWS VPN Client.

Read full description

MTR - Network Trace is a focused, native network path diagnostic utility for iPhone and iPad. It continuously sends ICMP probes with increasing hop limits and shows latency and packet-loss statistics for every responding router between your device and the destination. Designed for network administrators, engineers, homelab users, and anyone troubleshooting a connection. FEATURES • Continuous hop-by-hop network tracing • IPv4 and IPv6 with automatic or explicit selection • Last, average, best, and worst latency • Jitter, sent and received probe counts, and packet loss • Reverse DNS with full hostnames • Optional AS number, BGP prefix, network name, and registry country details • Alternate responder tracking • Saved targets and complete local trace history • Terminal-style text reports and structured CSV export • Copy and share results directly from the app • Configurable interval and maximum hop count MTR keeps moving when intermediate routers do not respond, so later hops can still appear without waiting for every timeout. PRIVACY FIRST MTR has no account, advertising, analytics SDK, subscription, or in-app purchase. Saved targets, settings, and trace history stay on your device. AS/BGP lookups are optional and clearly described in the Privacy Policy. One app, one job: a clean MTR-style network trace built for iOS.
