This article helps you configure your macOS client computer to connect to an Azure virtual network using a VPN Gateway point-to-site (P2S) connection. These steps apply to Azure VPN gateways configured for Microsoft Entra ID authentication. Microsoft Entra ID authentication only supports OpenVPN® protocol connections and requires the Azure VPN Client. The Azure VPN client for macOS is currently not available in France and China due to local regulations and requirements.
Make sure you have the following prerequisites before you proceed with the steps in this article:
- Configure your VPN gateway for point-to-site VPN connections that specify Microsoft Entra ID authentication. See Configure a P2S VPN gateway for Microsoft Entra ID authentication.
[!INCLUDE Supported OS, processors, Rosetta software]

You can configure the Azure VPN Client with optional configuration settings such as additional DNS servers, custom DNS, forced tunneling, custom routes, and other additional settings. For a description of the available optional settings and configuration steps, see Azure VPN Client optional settings.
