AWS EC2 OpenVPN Server

Question

Hi AWS, I am rephrasing the question again. I need to create an OpenVPN server and needs to access remaining server in the AWS account using that OpenVPN server, so how can we access that. Also is it possible to connect to the OpenVPN server without a public IP/Elastic IP. In case if it's possible, how can we do it. Is there any better alternative to OpenVPN like S2S VPN or any other VPN service which helps to interact with the EC2 instances in a secure and reliable fashion.

In case if I should have option to give access based on instance and VPC, how will it be done?

Can someone from the Amazon team help me?

Thanks

Answer

To help answer your questions ive numbered the answers

1. No, its not possible to connect to an EC2 without some form of public IP Address either on the EC2 or in front of an NLB
2. You could auto assign a public IP Address on an EC2 and connect direct to it via OpenVPN. THis will change on a shutdown and start up
3. You could assign a permant Elastic IP address to the EC2 which costs money
4. You could put the EC2 behind a NLB and place the EC2 in a private subnet. Place the NLB in a public Subnet
5. Other option is a AWS Client VPN. You can use authorisation rules to allow access to certain instances so long as you use a Directory such as AD
6. OpenVPN I think has user profiles so you can assign access to a specific user
