‫Now let's talk about the AWS client VPN.
‫So the idea is that you have your computer
‫and you want to privately connect into your AWS VPC.
‫Therefore you will leverage the client VPN
‫to establish a connection using the open VPN
‫to your private network in AWS or on premises.
‫I will show you how in the second.
‫Why would you want to do so?
‫Well, for example say you have deployed EC2 instances
‫in a private VPC and you want to access them
‫using a private IP.
‫Well, that's difficult if you don't have a VPN
‫but if you have a VPN, then it's super easy.
‫Once the VPN connection is established
‫you will be able to access your EC2 instances
‫using their private IP
‫just as if you were in the VPC network yourself.
‫So your VPC is right here
‫and then your client's VPN is installed on your computer.
‫You will establish the VPN connection over the internet.
‫So this goes over the public internet, of course.
‫And then you will be as if you are connected
‫privately into your VPC.
‫And if your VPC has established a site to site
‫VPN connection to your on-premises data center
‫then your computer will also be able to access,
‫privately, your servers on your, on premises data center.
‫And that's pretty magical, but it works.
‫I hope you liked it.
‫And I will see you in the next lecture.
