Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the same VPN Server software, and the rate depends on the Amazon EC2 instance type you choose. The dimensions are not feature tiers; they are hardware sizes. Smaller instances like t2.nano, t3.micro, and t2.small suit light use. Mid-range m5, m5a, m5d, m5n, m5dn, m5ad, m4, and m3 families cover growing workloads. Larger sizes, up to 24xlarge and metal options, add more CPU and memory for heavier traffic. Hourly billing scales with the size you run, so pick the instance that matches your capacity needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get the VPN Server software running on one Amazon EC2 instance of the size you pick. The instance type sets the CPU and memory available, which affects how many concurrent VPN users and how much traffic it handles. You choose the size to match your capacity needs.
The software rate meters running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS resources, such as attached storage, may still incur separate AWS fees while the instance is stopped, but those are billed by AWS, not by the software.
Yes. To connect and manage the server, you open TCP port 22 for SSH access and UDP port 1194 for the VPN connection in your Amazon firewall network properties. You create users on the server, then connect using an OpenVPN client with the generated config file.
