AWS Client VPN helps provide highly available and secure VPN access for organizations, regardless of their location. AWS Client VPN is a pay-as-you-go managed service, that helps eliminate the need to deal with the capital expense of buying hardware VPN appliances, or the operational complexity of scaling and patching such appliances. Customers can choose certificate-based, Active Directory, or SAML based authentication, and benefit from tighter security controls by defining access control rules based on groups. Using a single console, you can easily monitor and manage all of your VPN connections. AWS Client VPN allows you to choose from AWS VPN Desktop Clients or OpenVPN-based clients giving your employees the option to use the device of their choice to connect.
