About:
The AWS VPN Client provides a managed, secure, and scalable solution for remote access to AWS networks. It enables users to connect to Amazon VPCs and on-premises networks using a client-based VPN endpoint, ensuring encrypted communication. This tool simplifies the configuration and management of VPN connections for developers and administrators.
Key Features:
  • Supports mutual authentication via certificates and SAML-based identity providers
  • Split tunneling to route only specific traffic through the VPN
  • Seamless integration with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
  • Automated client configuration and updates
Use Cases:
  • Secure remote access for developers to private AWS VPC resources
  • Hybrid cloud connectivity between on-premises networks and AWS
Alternatives:
  • OpenVPN – Open-source and highly configurable, but requires manual server setup and management
  • WireGuard – Modern and fast VPN protocol, but lacks native AWS managed integration
