LANCOM Advanced VPN Client
LANCOM Advanced VPN Client is a professional enterprise VPN client from German network infrastructure supplier LANCOM Systems that enables secure remote access to corporate networks via IPsec VPN. It supports advanced features including multi-certificate authentication, IKEv2 protocol extensions, fingerprint-based strong authentication, split tunneling with up to 250 networks, IPv4/IPv6, FIPS 140-2 compliance, and load-balancing redirects in multi-gateway environments. The client is used by employees and contractors needing encrypted mobile access to company networks from any Internet connection, whether at home, traveling, or abroad. It integrates with the macOS keychain for certificate storage and supports both local and remote network forwarding.

1 suggestionAccording to LANCOM's November 2021 press release, version 4.6 of the LANCOM Advanced VPN Client added native Apple Silicon support alongside Intel compatibility—the release explicitly states it "supports the current operating systems macOS 11 (Big Sur) and macOS 12 (Monterey) on Apple products with an Apple M1 chip or an Intel CPU." However, we could find no evidence of a newer release or confirmation that later versions of the app maintain or expand that native support. You should verify directly with LANCOM Systems that your current or most recent available version includes a native Apple Silicon build, since the vendor's public product page and recent press materials do not clearly document the current architecture status. Visit lancom-systems.com/products/routers-vpn-gateways/lancom-advanced-vpn-client-macos/ or contact LANCOM support to confirm whether a native build remains available in the latest release for your M-series Mac, or whether the app has regressed to Intel-only. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027), it is important to clarify this before committing to an older version that lacks native support.
