There are not available any client ZIP file, including MAC, Linux, Win32 and Win64bit on any vpn array site managed by softlayer / ibm cloud. it is only available as client integrated with internet explorer as add on.

But I found page https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/infrastructure/iaas-vpn?topic=VPN-standalone-vpn-clients
and there is available client 32 and 64 bit, many versions for linux centos/rh/ubuntu , macos 10.10 but 10.11 is not supported.
