This OpenVPN server uses two public IP addresses (Elastic IPs) when deployed via a CloudFormation template. The first IP is used for both the web interface and as the VPN Endpoint, which is the address specified in client configurations to connect to the VPN server. The second IP is used for the Outbound connection - this is the address under which client traffic appears on the internet. This allows you to change or rotate the outbound IP at any time by replacing the second Elastic IP, without updating the client configuration or restarting the server.
This server is intended to provide the secure internet access for computers, mobile devices and routers. It is easy-to-use. After launching, this server is immediately fully operational. No server setup required. User authentication is performed using certificates embedded in the client OVPN configuration file, combined with a username and password. This server uses user authentication and traffic accounting via a RADIUS server, which relies on a MySQL database. High server efficiency allows using it even on low-performance machines, that may reduce the costs. You can choose a simple instance type like t3.micro, t3.small, t3.medium etc. This server provides a stable VPN connection at the highest possible speed.
