Please note the following requirements for AWS VPN Client:

For troubelshooting its worth checking first the logs:

/home/$USER/.config/AWSVPNClient/
/var/log/aws-vpn-client/$USER/

See also the official docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpn/latest/clientvpn-user/client-vpn-connect-linux.html

If you face any other problem please check the troubleshooting guide (DNS issues): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpn/latest/clientvpn-user/linux-troubleshooting.html#aws-provided-client

@beregond -- thanks for reminding me. I had tried that but something else must have been wrong. With a new VPN config and enabling systemd-resolved, it's working.

I do wish it would just work with openvpn directly, but oh well.

@joshm - had the same error, turns out I had to fix my DNS resolver, like in pinned post is suggested - sudo systemctl --now enable systemd-resolved.service

I can't get this to work. I get the same error as in this comment. I have enabled/started the awsvpnclient unit. I get pretty far in the process (browser window opens and I'm told to close it -- we're using SAML), but then the connection fails:

Anyone have any thoughts?

@damentz What?? I am sharing info with the community. I didn't saw the pinned comment.

damentz commented on 2024-02-11 14:03 (UTC)

@amchacon, why are you posting randomly a part of the pinned comment without context? If you are testing a llama spam bot, please stop immediately as you are wasting real people's time.

amchacon commented on 2024-02-11 13:47 (UTC) (edited on 2024-02-11 13:48 (UTC) by amchacon)

This package depends from the package systemd-resolvconf in order to make it work with DNS (and therefore, with SAML aswell).

Renember you have to enable the service aswell:

sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service

sudo systemctl start systemd-resolved.service

Running Manjaro with KDE plasma v. 5.27.10 on linux kernel 6.6.10-1.

Just updated to latest version 3.12.0-2, but now my client won't boot up.

Getting a long stack trace from journalctl:

Can anybody help me to understand what's going on and why this doesn't work.

Hi,

since you already patch the desktop file for KDE. Is it possible that you add the following line to the awsvpnclient.desktop file so the AWS VPN Client icon is shown for the running application under Gnome:

StartupWMClass=AWS VPN Client

Thanks!

3.9.0 is available, posting proof here since it's hard to read in "Flagged out-of-date" page:

$ curl -Os https://d20adtppz83p9s.cloudfront.net/GTK/latest/awsvpnclient_amd64.deb
$ aunpack awsvpnclient_amd64.deb
$ grep Version awsvpnclient_amd64/DEBIAN/control
Version: 3.9.0

I'd suggest including @jantman's patch - thanks very much for that - I've been using it since posted with no (observed) negative effects.

Recently I've had login work and then 'connection failed' pop up from the GUI. (i.e. I can't connect at all at present.) I've never tried from CLI before (so I'm not certain of a prior working invocation) but running /opt/awsvpnclient/Service/Resources/openvpn/acvc-openvpn --config <(aws ec2 export-client-vpn-client-configuration --output=text) gives the same error as reported by @dcunningham.

The logged error (from GUI attempt) is:

2141 2023-04-13 16:16:28.758 +01:00 [DBG] /bin/ps exit code: 1

Note that /home/ubuntu is (somewhat obviously) not a local path, though I assume that's just a quirk of the logging/compilation, not an issue.
