     Info
    Free Trial
    No license required, remote access VPN solution leveraging SSH to tunnel encrypted traffic. Supports Linux and Mac clients.

    Overview

    The Salient SSH VPN server is a remote access solution that differs from traditional VPNs by using an SSH tunnel to securely manage traffic, instead of PPTP, L2TP, or IPSEC. This server enables users to provision and support an unlimited number of clients, where performance is limited only by the selected instance size.

    The Salient SSH VPN provides data encryption, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure during transmission. Additionally, this appliance enables secure access to on-premises and cloud resources, making it ideal for remote work and cloud migration scenarios. By leveraging the Salient SSH VPN server, users benefit from enhanced security, seamless remote access, and scalable connectivity to their resources.

    Highlights

    • The Salient SSH VPN provides remote access to your AWS VPC
    • Provides a secure, encrypted tunnel to your VPC - providing protection from unscrupulous internet service providers or Wi-Fi hotspots
    • Protects origin IP address from destination hosts

    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.

    Usage instructions

    1. Run the sshvpn command to create a new SSH VPN user. For this example, our client will be an Ubuntu machine, so we will call this client "ubuntu": sudo sshvpn -a ubuntu
    2. Exit the SSH session with the server: exit
    3. Update the hostname in this command and use SFTP to retrieve the client installer script: sftp -i ~/.ssh/Salient.pem ec2-user@ec2-54-91-77-201.compute-1.amazonaws.com :/home/ec2-user/SSHVPN-ubuntu-Client.sh ./SSHVPN-ubuntu-Client.sh
    4. Now, copy the script to the client machine using SCP: scp -i ~/.ssh/Salient.pem ./SSHVPN-ubuntu-Client.sh ubuntu@ec2-44-211-227-138.compute-1.amazonaws.com :/home/ubuntu/SSHVPN-ubuntu-Client.sh
    5. Make the client installer script executable: chmod +x SSHVPN-ubuntu-Client.sh
    6. Run the installer script: sudo ./SSHVPN-ubuntu-Client.sh

    And that's it! The SSH VPN can now be toggled on with:

    Linux: sudo service sshvpn-ubuntu start

    MacOS: sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.salient.sshvpn.plist

    To toggle off the SSH VPN, run:

    Linux: sudo service sshvpn-ubuntu stop

    MacOS: sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.salient.sshvpn.plist

    Full usage instructions here: https://www.salientengineering.com/blog/how-to-setup-salient-ssh-vpn-in-aws-and-azure/ 

    1. Deploy the Salient SSH VPN into your AWS VPC. Ensure the server has a publicly accessible IP address.
    2. Connect to the Salient SSH VPN via SSH.
    3. Create a new client using the "sshvpn" command: sudo sshvpn -a exampleclient
    4. Exit the SSH session with the server.
    5. Use SFTP to retrieve the client installer script.
    6. Make the client installer script executable and run it on the client.

    The SSH VPN can now be toggled on with: Linux: sudo service sshvpn-exampleclient start MacOS: sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.salient.sshvpn.plist

    To toggle off the SSH VPN, run: Linux: sudo service sshvpn-exampleclient stop MacOS: sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.salient.sshvpn.plist
