  4. Launch AmneziaVPN from Applications.
  5. Deploy or import, then prove one tunnel.

Notes

This install guide does not claim a brew cask. If a cask appears later, re-verify it before teaching it in a classroom image.

Why this path matters

A local AmneziaVPN client keeps the tunnel on a server you control. GPL-3.0 builds give you named release assets and package doors you can document on a machine ticket. That is enough for travel laptops, student machines, and desks that need a self-hosted path after install.

Keep Softonic-style mirrors out of the loop. Prefer GitHub Releases filenames or the verified winget id. After every reimage, prove one short tunnel before you call the machine ready.

Home: /. Releases: /vpn-releases. Download safe: /vpn-download-safe. First hour: /installed. Guides hub: /guides.

Mist Latch publishes the install guide. Upstream remains at amnezia.org and amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client. When a tag drops an OS asset, re-check the live list before imaging a lab.

Family PCs and shared desks benefit from writing the update door beside the OS version. Windows exe, winget, macOS pkg, Linux .run, and Android APK are different doors. Mixing them without notes creates duplicate installs and confused uninstalls.

When someone pastes a random download link into chat, ask for the GitHub Releases URL instead. The install path on this guide always returns to amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client.
