I am studying for the CSAP exam and I’m running into a ton of on-prem topics that I’m not that familiar with.
Does anyone know of any free VPN server software that is 1) compatible with Win 10, and 2) compatible with aws site-to-site VPN?
I got pretty far with OpenVPN, but from what I can tell it uses SSL only and does not seem to support IPSec which appears to be required by aws.
Check out strongswan vpn… I’m not sure if they have a windows client available for the server software, but you should be able to install Linux inside a vm and use that as a fallback option (assuming you’re comfortable with linux).
Put pfsense on any router or virtual machine with a dedicated interface to the internet (eg with a public ip) and use the AWS site to site wizard available as an additional package.
Once package is installed you just feed it an IAM credential and pick which VPC to tunnel to in the list. It’ll set everything up in AWS for you, at which point you can inspect what it built.
Thanks, I did see that and couldn’t locate a windows client. Sounds like I’ll just have to spin up a vm to do this testing, thanks for the suggestion
