I have Virtual Network Gateway configured with Point-to-site configuration using OpenVPN (SSL) with Azure Active Directory authentication type. AzureVPN installed on Windows 10 devices and they can connect to Azure servers while off-site, perfect. Problem is with a few users wanting VPN on their mobile phones to access internal website while off-site, there doesn't appear to be an AzureVPN application for Android/IOS. Any ideas? ideally would prefer using AzureAD authentication for this but can't see any way around this for mobiles.

Native Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication support for OpenVPN protocol and Azure VPN Client for Windows is available for Azure point-to-site (P2S) VPN but is only limited to Windows 10 OS at the moment.
Please refer to the table below which shows the client operating systems and the authentication options that are available to them:

Reference link : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/work-remotely-support#p2s

If you wish to get this option on other OS clients, you may leave your feedback here requesting this feature. All the feedback you share in these forums will be monitored and reviewed by the Microsoft engineering teams responsible for building Azure.

But for now, you can use Radius or Azure Certificate authentication to connect Azure P2S VPN on Android/iOS devices.

Hope this helps!

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

Mohammad Wasif Rafique Mandal ,

Could you please confirm the tunnel type and authentication type configured for your P2S VPN in the Azure portal?

Also, you could try to remove the quotes from the verify-x509-name config line of the *.ovpn config file like below and test if it works:

From: verify-x509-name '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.vpn.azure.com' name

To: verify-x509-name 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.vpn.azure.com name

or remove the line altogether.

Could you please try the above step and let me know if it works?

Regards,

Gita

Azure point-to-site (P2S) VPN now offers support for Native Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication with OpenVPN protocol and Azure VPN Client for Windows. However, this feature is currently exclusive to Windows 10 OS. Below is a table outlining the supported client operating systems and their corresponding authentication options:

Client Operating System	Authentication Options
Windows 10	Native Azure AD (Azure AD) Authentication with OpenVPN protocol and Azure VPN Client for Windows
Windows 10	Native Azure AD (Azure AD) Authentication with OpenVPN protocol and Azure VPN Client for Windows
Other OS	Authentication options are not available at this time

If you desire to have this functionality available for other operating systems, you have the option to submit your feedback in the provided forum link. Microsoft actively monitors and reviews all feedback shared in these forums to enhance and expand the features of Azure.
