EC2 VPN Update – Custom PSK, Inside Tunnel IP, and SDK Update Available for the AWS GovCloud (US) Region
Starting today, the AWS VPN service supports custom Pre-Shared Keys (PSKs) and inside tunnel IP CIDR blocks for your VPN connection. These new features allow you to better self-manage their VPNs, avoid inside tunnel IP address conflicts, and enable support for additional devices. These features are available in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region.
The SDK update adds a new 'category' field which allows you to discover the category of your VPN – ‘AWS Classic VPN’ or ‘AWS VPN’. This provides insight into the capabilities of your VPN connection. The new custom PSK and inside tunnel IP features are only available for AWS VPN. Previously launched features only available for AWS VPN are CloudWatch Metrics, AES 256, SHA-2, additional Diffie Hellman groups, and NAT Traversal.
