BIG IP Edge Client for Linux

I'm an archlinux user, and my company does not tend to support Linux. We just moved to the F5 APM access. Is it possible to get an installer for the edge client that will work with Duo authentication?

    F5's response to me was that Duo will likely not ever work with the command line linux client. In version 13, they move away from NPAPI plugins, so you might be able to use your browser in Linux. I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet.

    With the newer versions it does work (again) in the browser. I am running it with Firefox 61.0.1 on Xubuntu 18.04.

    To make it work I had to make a softlink for the libssl and libcrypto libraries to the standard xubuntu versions:

    ls -l /opt/f5/vpn/lib/   total 2776
