Problem statement

The AWS Client VPN Hands On Lab demonstrates how to build a secure remote-access VPN environment on AWS. It covers VPC and subnet configuration, NAT and routing, certificate-based authentication, Client VPN endpoint creation, OpenVPN client configuration, private EC2 access, testing, monitoring, troubleshooting, and security best practices.

Problem Solved

The lab addresses the problem of securely accessing resources inside a private AWS network without exposing them directly to the public internet. It establishes a VPN tunnel through AWS Client VPN, authenticates users using certificates, and provides controlled routes and authorization rules to private resources such as EC2 instances. It also includes troubleshooting methods for connection failures, routing problems, authorization issues, and DNS resolution failures.
