f5vpn for Linux
===============
The F5 VPN client uses the Point-to-Point Protocol to connect to F5Networks BIG-IP APM 13.0.
Usage
-----
1. In a web browser, go to `<https://[your-BIG-IP-APM-server]/>`_ and log in (including 2-factor authentication, if you use it).
2. Open Developer Tools and run this JavaScript:
.. code-block:: javascript
snaGetLaunchLink('network_access', dcl.getBins[0].res.reduce((result, bin) => bin.type === 'network_access' ? bin.id : result, {}))['link']
You should have received a URL starting with ``f5-vpn://``.
3. In a terminal, run ``f5vpn`` using the URL from Step 2 as its argument (including single quotes):
.. code-block:: shell
f5vpn 'f5-vpn://...'
If everything worked, the GUI for F5 VPN should be visible. Assuming continuous Internet connectivity, you should remain connected for several hours.
Known Bugs
----------
If you resize the window, it disconnects. If that happens, you can re-run the ``f5vpn`` command with the same URL as before.
