Setting Up VPNs on Windows ARM64

I began to use Windows for ARM Since Mar. 2025, and most things work smoothly without and difference with x86 machines. Most Windows apps have ARM version now, and the x86 emulator runs well for those don’t have ARM support. However, seems the emulator has some problem with VPNs?

I’ll post my personal solutions to VPN issues (and perhaps other ARM support problems) here.

Clash

Clash provides executable version on ARM.

EasyConnect by Sangfor

Used by Nanjing University.

iNodeClient by H3C

Used in the computational resource rental service by China Telcomm.

install iNodeClient Linux-ARM64 version on WSL

problem of running iNode on WSL: Auth setup

  cd iNodeClient
  sudo ./AuthenMngService

do not forget to set network mode as mirror at C:\Users\$username\.wslconfig

  [wsl2]
  networkingMode=mirrored
  dnsTunneling=false
  firewall=false
  localhostForwarding=true

set a proxy from WSL back to Windows with SSH
```
  ssh -i "~/.ssh/id_ed25519" -vvv -D 0.0.0.0:1080 -N 127.0.0.1
```
and allow SSH access of your own public key to localhost
