Azur vpn and linux

Site Feedback

Hi everyone! I’m new here and have a question. I wasn’t sure where to post it, but I thought I’d try here and in the Fedora subreddit.

I’m working in a company and would like to use my laptop with Fedora Linux instead of the standard Windows setup. To access our SQL database in SQL Workbench, I need to connect through Azure VPN, and I’m unsure if Azure VPN is available on Fedora. If it is, could someone guide me on how to set it up? or share a guide ?

If Azure VPN isn’t available on Fedora, I have another idea and would love some feedback on whether it might work. My plan is to use a virtual machine (VM) with Windows 11 on Fedora, set up Azure VPN on the VM, and then access the database from there. Would I still be able to connect to the database and work on my dev projects in Linux with this setup?

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions!

The Azure VPN Client for Linux is only supported on the following releases:

  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • Ubuntu 22.04

Your second approach will probably work using WSL. Accessing network applications with WSL | Microsoft Learn

I’m using Ubuntu 24.04 and can connect to the Azure VPN Client without an issue using the 22.04 installation.
