This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for custom operational agents. Features a real-time session dashboard, geographic access rules, automated certificate rotation, per-user bandwidth tracking, and connection event logging. Secure VPN access with zero manual configuration.
Overview
GigaOps Connection Auditor delivers a fully configured OpenVPN server with integrated connection management and security auditing by Gigabits. This product eliminates the hours of manual OpenVPN configuration and adds enterprise-grade session visibility that bare OpenVPN does not provide.
Key Features:
- Zero-Configuration Deployment: OpenVPN is fully configured on first boot with secure defaults including TLS 1.3, AES-256-GCM encryption, perfect forward secrecy, and certificate-based authentication. Generate client configs with a single command.
- Session Dashboard: A local web panel shows all active VPN connections in real time including connected users, session duration, data transferred, assigned IPs, and connection quality metrics.
- Geographic Access Rules: Define allow/deny rules by country. Block connections from high-risk regions or restrict access to specific countries only. Rules update automatically from GeoIP data.
- Automated Certificate Rotation: Client and server certificates are monitored for expiry. GigaOps alerts 30 days before expiration and can auto-rotate certificates with zero downtime.
- Per-User Bandwidth Tracking: Monitor data usage per connected client. Set bandwidth caps per user or group. Identify bandwidth-heavy users impacting the network.
- Connection Event Logging: Every connect, disconnect, authentication failure, and certificate event is logged with full context. Export logs for compliance or integrate with your SIEM via syslog forwarding.
- Brute-Force Protection: Failed authentication attempts trigger progressive lockouts. Repeat offenders are auto-banned at the firewall level.
Ideal For: Businesses providing remote access to employees, site-to-site VPN connectivity, teams requiring auditable VPN access for compliance, or anyone needing a managed VPN gateway without the complexity of manual OpenVPN administration.
Highlights
- Integrated powerful web interface that lets you configure remote access to resources, granular access control, and simplifies installation and configuration of client devices. Certificate PKI management is automated to reduce complicated setup procedures and deployment timelines. Flexible licensing model based on the number of concurrent connected devices.
- Multiple secure authentication methods to help you easily integrate your existing authentication services for your VPN server. OpenVPN Access Server includes a built-in local authentication system as well as support for authentication against Active Directory, PAM, LDAP, RADIUS, SAML, and even a custom Python3 authentication module is possible.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run this hardened AMI on. There is one pricing dimension per instance type, billed as an hourly rate. The rate you pay depends only on which instance you select. Instances range from small burstable types like t2 and t3 up to compute, memory, storage, GPU, and high-performance families. Larger instances within a family carry higher hourly software rates, so pricing scales with the size and class of instance you choose. AWS infrastructure charges apply separately from this software rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. The rate covers the hardened OpenVPN software image on that instance. If you run several instances, each one meters its own hourly software charge separately.
The hourly software rate meters running time only. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue software charges. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume may still apply, but those are separate from this software rate.
No plan change is needed. The software rate is tied to the instance type you run. When you launch a larger instance, that instance's hourly rate applies automatically. Switching to a smaller instance lowers the rate the same way, with no manual upgrade step.

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.
