AWS Client VPN

AWS Client VPN

AWS Client VPN is a OpenVPN service from AWS. It allows anyone with the correct permissions the ability to create a network path into your VPC. While this is typically a good thing, Client VPN can also act as an end-run around the corporate VPN if your VPCs leverage DirectConnect or Site-to-Site VPN. Because it can leverage AWS Active Directory, it can be configured independent of your corporate identity system and provide back doors for third parties and departed employees.
