We can't support GNU netcat, as it doesn't support UNIX domain sockets.

GNU netcat was last released in January 2004. We should instead require users to install either nmap/BSD netcat and maybe also add support for socat if possible.

Instead of depending on the AWS VPN client, we can simply include a patched OpenVPN itself, and the necessary DNS configuration script.

If the license for the AWS configure-dns script is not compatible with this project, and equivalent script will need to be written from scratch.

Instead of requiring that the systemd unit and config file are named the same as the VPN hostname, we should extract the VPN hostname from the config file itself.

If the user takes too long to complete the SSO auth flow, the system unit will crash, causing the user unit to crash.

We should ensure that if the SSO auth flow doesn't succeed, we don't crash either unit, to allow the flow to restart.
