This article helps you configure your macOS client computer to connect to an Azure virtual network using a Virtual WAN User VPN point-to-site (P2S) connection. These steps apply to Azure VPN gateways configured for Microsoft Entra ID authentication. Microsoft Entra ID authentication only supports OpenVPN® protocol connections and requires the Azure VPN Client. The Azure VPN client for macOS is currently not available in France and China due to local regulations and requirements.
Before you begin
Verify that you are on the correct article. The following table shows the configuration articles available for Azure Virtual WAN point-to-site (P2S) VPN clients. Steps differ, depending on the authentication type, tunnel type, and the client OS.
| Authentication method | Tunnel type | Client OS | VPN client |
|---|---|---|---|
| Certificate | IKEv2, SSTP | Windows | Native VPN client |
| IKEv2 | macOS | Native VPN client | |
| OpenVPN | macOS | OpenVPN client | |
| OpenVPN | iOS | OpenVPN client | |
| Microsoft Entra ID | OpenVPN | Windows | Azure VPN client |
| OpenVPN | macOS | Azure VPN client |
Prerequisites
This article assumes that you've already performed the following prerequisites:
- You configured a virtual WAN according to the steps in the Configure a User VPN (P2S) gateway for Microsoft Entra ID authentication article. Your User VPN configuration must use Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory) authentication and the OpenVPN tunnel type.
- You generated and downloaded the VPN client configuration files. For steps to generate a VPN client profile configuration package, see Download global and hub profiles.
Optional client configuration settings
You can configure the Azure VPN Client with optional configuration settings such as additional DNS servers, custom DNS, forced tunneling, custom routes, and other additional settings.
