Full & Split DNS

Viscosity's powerful DNS system goes above and beyond other VPN clients, offering both Full and Split DNS modes. Ensure that your VPN DNS servers are used by default with Full DNS mode, or use Split DNS mode to only use your VPN DNS servers for certain domains.

Enterprise Features

Deployment Ready

Viscosity has been designed to be easy and straightforward to deploy in managed environments. Easily package Viscosity with VPN connections and settings and deploy it using tools such as Mobile Device Management (MDM) or Group Policy (GPO). Or use third-party deployment software such as Munki or Jamf to deploy Viscosity and offer self-service installation.

Bundle Connections & Settings

Viscosity can be bundled together with connections and settings, so Viscosity is ready to go as soon as it is installed, with no configuration required by end users. Viscosity also provides a number of extra customisable settings to help Viscosity fit into your networking and security environment, including the ability to change Viscosity's username and password storage behaviour and global scripting.

Viscosity's Details window provides a simple interface for obtaining connection statistics and diagnostic information to pass on to support staff.

Reliability

Viscosity is in use everywhere, from large enterprise to small business, schools, universities, at home and on the road. You can use deploy Viscosity with piece of mind that it has been constantly tested and refined for almost any network environment. Viscosity has been constantly refined to automatically adjust to a huge variety of network conditions to ensure your user's VPN connections are reliable and trouble-free as possible.

Connection Profiles

Viscosity connection packages can be exported and distributed to users, providing an easy mechanism to supply users with connections (and all associated certificates, keys, and scripts) in a single package when providing a fully bundled version of Viscosity is not suitable.

Standard & Admin User Support

Viscosity can run under both administrator accounts and standard user accounts, for both macOS and Windows. This makes deploying Viscosity to machines that are not department controlled/imaged (such as machines at a user's home) much easier and simpler.

Smartcard, Token, & U2F Support

Viscosity supports PKCS#11 and FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) authentication options, allowing your users to use devices like smartcards and eTokens for authentication. You can use these devices as the sole method for authentication, or combine them with other authentication methods to create two-factor, or even three-factor, authentication. This helps you meet strict security polices, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Automatic Actions

Viscosity allows calling custom scripts before a connection connects, when it connects, or when it disconnects. This allows common tasks to be easily automated, such as connecting to file servers and mounting shares, opening web pages, opening applications, controlling other applications, and displaying messages to the user. Viscosity supports AppleScript scripts under macOS, and both Batch (.bat) and Visual Basic/VBS (.vbs) scripts under Windows.

Conditional Connections

Viscosity's conditional connections mechanism makes it easy to have Viscosity only connect to a VPN server on certain networks, or only in certain environments. A custom script can check for certain conditions (such as the wireless network the machine is connected to, the IP address, location, etc.) and decide whether to allow or terminate the connection attempt.

Hat tip to @sparklabs for Viscosity. It's the OpenVPN client I'd write if I had to. Which I don't, because they wrote it.
