Overview
Traditional key exchange algorithms - including Diffie-Hellman, RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography - are known to be vulnerable to attack by a sufficiently advanced quantum computer. This quantum computer does not exist yet, but experts believe one will be created in the next 10-15 years. QST-VPN will protect your data once this happens and beyond. The risk to data does not start in 10 years. Someone could intercept your data today, and store it for future decryption. How long does your data need to be secure for? If the answer is more than five years, the time to switch to QST-VPN might be today.
QST-VPN uses Post Quantum secure algorithms and the trusted open source VPN library OpenVPN to secure your data.

- Two Factor Authentication Support with Google Authenticator

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

- Choose the Server port (Default is 1194)
- Choose the Server protocol Default is set to UDP - TCP works by default in AWS with no additional settings.
- Choose the Max server log size in mebibytes (Default is 10 MiB)
- Choose a Public Facing server address. This should be set to the public address of the server.
- Decide whether to use emails for user communication. If yes, additional details are required to set up either SendGrid or use of an SMTP server.
- Choose if the server should use two factor authentication
- Set the activation and password reset timeouts (each default to 30 mins).
