Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you choose to run this VPN server. The software price is the same across all options; your cost changes with the compute capacity of the instance. Smaller t2, t3, and t3a instances (from nano up) suit light or occasional use. Larger m3, m4, m5, m5a, m5ad, m5d, m5dn, and m5n families scale up through xlarge sizes to metal, adding more CPU and memory for heavier traffic. Billing runs per hour, so you pay only for the time each instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one hour of running an EC2 instance loaded with this VPN software. You pick the instance type, such as t2.micro or m5.large. Each running hour of that single virtual machine accrues both the software charge and the AWS compute charge. Instance size sets your rate.
The software meters running time only, so a fully stopped instance accrues no hourly software charge. When you restart it, hourly billing resumes. A stopped instance may still incur AWS storage fees for its attached disk, which are separate from this software's hourly rate.
No. Billing depends only on the instance type you run, not on how many VPN users you create. You add users on the server through commands, at no extra per-user charge. Heavier traffic from many users may push you toward a larger instance, which changes your hourly rate.

Review from a verified AWS customer
I used this image to init my EC2, but can not get OpenVPN works correctly, and meanwhile the fee was charged for almost a week. Since I am using free tier.
