A Full documentation with step-by-step guide explaining how the complete module works is captured here: OpenVPN Access Server Setup

• Creates a Ubuntu 22.04 EC2 instance and configures a fully functional OpenVPN Access Server
• Configures the server as a type t2-micro which runs within the AWS Free-tier plan (Learn more about the AWS free-tier plan here)
• Set up and configure the VPN server with an IP address in the AWS region specified
• Generates an AWS keypair file for SSH connection to the EC2 instance and saves the file in the terraform working directory locally
• Generates an OpenVPN User Profile file (*.ovpn) that will be used to establish an encrypted VPN connection from your local machine to the VPN server
• One command tear down that destroys the whole infrastructure along with the locally created files (the keypair file and the *.ovpn user profile file)

• Thanks to Stanislas Agristan for the OpenVPN Installer script
• Thanks to Dominic Dumrauf who created a similar terraform solution using Agristan's script and inspired mine.
