Use GitHub Releases for amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client when you need a named client binary. Prefer the Windows x64 exe on a tag that still ships it, such as the current Windows-bearing tag.

Open AmneziaVPN releases and confirm the tag before you download. This install guide maps filenames, not mirrored rename jobs.

Windows assets

Primary for this client path: AmneziaVPN_*_windows_x64.exe. Prefer that exe from a Windows-bearing tag. winget id AmneziaVPN.AmneziaVPN sits as an alternate channel.

  • Windows x64 exe for a normal install
  • winget id AmneziaVPN.AmneziaVPN when you trust that channel
  • Confirm the tag still lists the exe before imaging a lab

macOS assets

The macOS installer ships as AmneziaVPN_*_macos_x64.pkg on the same tag family. No Homebrew cask was verified for AmneziaVPN on this review date.

Linux assets

Linux uses AmneziaVPN_*_linux_x64.run. Make it executable, then run it. No Snap or Flatpak package id was verified here.

Android assets

Multiple APKs for android11+ and android9-10 across ABIs ship on the same tag as supporting mobile assets. Match the ABI to the device.

How to refuse mirrors

If a site renames the setup for a client ranking, stop. Match the filename on GitHub Releases instead. Safe path: download safe. Machine chooser: for this computer.

After the download

First hour: installed. Windows detail: install on Windows. Update door: update uninstall.

Tag notes that matter

On 2026-09-15, tag a newer tag listed Linux, macOS, and Android without a Windows exe, and another newer tag listed zero assets. Prefer the current Windows-bearing tag when you need the locked Windows primary asset name.

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.
