Re: SoftEther as VPN to AWS VPC
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2016 4:03 pm
Yes this is a viable solution.
Do one of the following:
- Have some instance (EC2 or whatever else) with a static IP address and install SoftEther on it
- Ask your ISP for a static IP address
In both cases, configure the main security group, assigned to all instances, to allow this static IP into your VPC
There's indeed a nat gateway in the VPC, but this is mainly for allowing instances inside the VPC to communicate with instances outside the VPC, not the other way around.
Hope this helps
