VPN for this computer

By Mist Latch editorial team Current release, published August 21, 2026

Abstract tunnel ring with concentric paths and an umber arc on cool fog paper.
Tunnel-arc mark: flat ink rings with one umber hop for a local self-hosted vpn client install. Mist Latch original hop-pipe geometry for factory-vpn (not an Amnezia logo).

Choose one install door for the machine in front of you. Windows prefers the x64 exe or winget. macOS prefers the pkg. Linux prefers the .run. Android prefers a matching APK.

After you pick

First hour: installed. Safe download habits: download safe.

Keep one installer door forever. Mixing Softonic wrappers with Releases and winget on the same PC creates duplicate installs and confused uninstalls. After every reimage, prove one short tunnel before you call the machine ready.

Mist Latch maps filenames and package ids for people who searched for a self-hosted client and need a local AmneziaVPN path. Upstream remains at amnezia.org and amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client under GPL-3.0. VPS billing stays your responsibility and stays separate from the program licence.

When Releases add or drop OS assets on a tag, re-check the live list before you image a classroom. Prefer Windows-bearing tags for the x64 exe. Prefer winget when that index matches machine policy. Refuse review portals that only rank with a renamed setup.

  • Match AmneziaVPN_*_windows_x64.exe on Windows when Releases is the door.
  • Use winget install -e --id AmneziaVPN.AmneziaVPN when winget is allowed.
  • Use the macOS pkg or Linux .run from the same honest tag.
  • Keep commercial apps as a brief fallback while you prove the tunnel.
  • Return to the same door for updates instead of inventing a mirror.

Family PCs, student laptops, and shared desks all benefit from the same rhythm: one installer door, one server record, one documented protocol. That is how the habit stays boring in a good way.

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.
