## What it is
Pritunl Client is a free, open-source cross-platform OpenVPN and WireGuard client with both graphical and command-line interfaces. It supports importing profiles from Pritunl servers via URI or standard OpenVPN configuration files.

## Use cases
- connect to openvpn servers from my desktop
- import openvpn profiles from a pritunl server
- free alternative to viscosity vpn client
- wireguard client for mac windows and linux
- manage vpn connections from the command line
- connect to company vpn with sso profiles

## When to choose
- you need a free open-source OpenVPN or WireGuard client on macOS, Windows, or Linux
- you use Pritunl servers and want easy profile import via URI
- you want both GUI and CLI interfaces for VPN connections

## When to avoid
- you need a VPN server rather than a client
- you require a client for platforms outside macOS, Windows, or Linux
- you need a fully permissive open-source license (license is non-standard)
