VPN Options

AWS Site-to-Site VPN

  • You can create an IPsec VPN connection between your VPC and your remote network.
  • On the AWS side of the Site-to-Site VPN connection, a virtual private gateway or transit gateway provides two VPN endpoints (tunnels) for automatic failover.
  • You configure your customer gateway device on the remote side of the Site-to-Site VPN connection. For more information, see the AWS Site-to-Site VPN User Guide.

AWS Client VPN

  • AWS Client VPN is a managed client-based VPN service that enables you to securely access your AWS resources or your on-premises network.
  • With AWS Client VPN, you configure an endpoint to which your users can connect to establish a secure TLS VPN session.
  • This enables clients to access resources in AWS or on-premises from any location using an OpenVPN-based VPN client. For more information, see the AWS Client VPN Administrator Guide.

AWS VPN CloudHub

  • If you have more than one remote network (for example, multiple branch offices), you can create multiple AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections via your virtual private gateway to enable communication between these networks.
  • For more information, see Providing secure communication between sites using VPN CloudHub in the AWS Site-to-Site VPN User Guide.

Third party software VPN appliance

  • You can create a VPN connection to your remote network by using an Amazon EC2 instance in your VPC that’s running a third party software VPN appliance.
  • AWS does not provide or maintain third party software VPN appliances; however, you can choose from a range of products provided by partners and open source communities. Find third party software VPN appliances on the AWS Marketplace.
