AWS VPN Client on a guest VM
The AWS VPN Client for Linux ( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpn/latest/clientvpn-user/client-vpn-connect-linux.html ) at the time of writing (Nov 26, 2023) is only supported on Ubuntu and the latest Ubuntu version supported is 20.04 LTS. This version of Ubuntu is nearly 4 years old and people have been having problems with the client - there have been numerous complaints on the forums by people trying to get it working on newer Ubuntu versions, for example https://repost.aws/questions/QUNJeF_ja_Suykous7EvfX5Q/aws-client-vpn-on-ubuntu-22-04 . While it is possible to get the VPN client working on Ubuntu 22.04, there is a caveat - the client uses an outdated libssl version (libssl1) and Ubuntu 22.04 comes with a libssl3, which makes the client error out. The workaround is manual installation of libssl1, replacing libssl3. If one uses another distro or simply does not want to downgrade libssl just for the AWS VPN client, one solution is to run the client on guest installation of Ubuntu
