About AWS Client VPN
AWS Client VPN is a fully managed remote access VPN solution used by your remote workforce to securely access resources within both AWS and your on-premises network. Fully elastic, it automatically scales up or down based on demand. When migrating applications to AWS, your users access them the same way before, during, and after the move. AWS Client VPN, including the software client, supports the OpenVPN protocol. Many organizations require multi-factor authentication and federated authentication from their VPN solution. AWS Client VPN supports these and other authentication methods. Traditional on-premises VPN services are limited by the capacity of the hardware that runs them. AWS Client VPN is a pay-as-you-go cloud VPN service that elastically scales up or down based on user demand. Unlike on-premises VPN services, AWS Client VPN allows users to connect to AWS networks using a single VPN connection.
