Connecting the LogonBox Linux VPN client (Linux Mint 20)

Christopher Dakin

The LogonBox branded VPN client adds extra functionality to a generic WireGuard client, most notably it will automatically generate and manage your client configuration files, as well as adding support for multi-factor authentication.

The client can be downloaded from the LogonBox VPN UI.

 

1. Installing the client

Navigate to https://<logonboxserver> and log on with your user account into the User Portal.

 

You should be presented with the Overview page.

The OS should be detected correctly and the download should default to your current client OS.

You can choose to download a client for another OS by clicking the dropdown and selecting which client you need.

Click the Download button to get your client.

 

 Launch the client installer with sudo sh ./logonbox-vpn-client-unix-amd64-2.4.0-708.sh (version number may differ) and click Next.

 

Accept the license agreement and click Next.

 

Accept the default install location or browse to a directory of your choice and click Next.

 

Accept the suggested components and click Next.

 

Chose the name of the folder where you want the symlinks to be installed and click Next.

 

The client files now install. Click Finish to complete the install.
