About AWS VPN
AWS VPN enables secure connections between on-premises networks and AWS Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) using IPsec VPN tunnels. Each connection includes two tunnels for high availability, terminating in different availability zones to ensure resilience. It supports both static and dynamic routing with BGP, and offers customizable tunnel options, including inside tunnel IP addresses, pre-shared keys, and BGP Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). Accelerated Site-to-Site VPN leverages AWS Global Accelerator to route traffic through the nearest AWS edge location, improving performance by reducing latency and jitter. AWS Client VPN is a fully managed, elastic VPN service that allows users to securely access AWS and on-premises resources from any location using an OpenVPN-based client. It supports authentication through Active Directory, mutual certificate authentication, and SAML-based federated authentication.
