AWS VPN vs. AWS Client VPN

AWS VPN is a comprehensive, fully managed service designed to establish secure and private connections between your on-premises networks, remote workers, and AWS cloud resources. It offers two primary solutions: AWS Site-to-Site VPN and AWS Client VPN. AWS Site-to-Site VPN enables secure connections between your data centers or branch offices and AWS cloud resources, facilitating seamless integration of on-premises networks with the cloud.

AWS Client VPN is a fully managed, client-based VPN service that enables secure and seamless access to AWS resources and on-premises networks from any location. Utilizing the OpenVPN protocol, it provides encrypted connections, ensuring data privacy and integrity. The service is designed to be elastic, automatically scaling to accommodate varying numbers of users without manual intervention, making it ideal for organizations with fluctuating remote access needs.
