Microsoft Provided Azure VPN Client that does not require full time admin rights

Hi all, When will MS provide a VPN client to access Azure Client VPN (P2S) that does not require full time admin rights? Most clients should not have local admin rights yet should be able to access a VPN. Or can the Windows built in client work or would we need to use some sort of OpenVPN Client Frankenstein? Thanks!

@BillSpeers-5053, Currently the Azure P2S VPN client requires the user to be a local admin. This is By Design and unfortunately there is no alternative as running the Point-To-Site VPN connection as local admin, because you need to inject a new route in the routing table for the VPN and that can be done only by an admin. Radius and Open VPN tunnel type should work here with no extra privileges.

Here is a feature request on similar ask. You can upvote it and provide your feedback for its future availability.
