SSH Config Needs Help!
Finally got it working after 4 instance attempts. I could not log in to the Web UI because I didn't have a valid password. SSH configuration wizard doesn't prompt you to create password. Also I could only get it to configure with the default "openvpn" admin name. Name change attempts were rejected.
After initial SSH configuration is complete you must set the web UI admin password using "sudo passwd openvpn" command before exiting SSH session.

Didn't work. Save the effort and build your own from the Ubuntu image
I spent a few days trying to get this build to work to no avail. I could connect fine and ping the inside interface of the VPN gateway server but I couldn't ping anything else in my VPC. I thought it was me being a bit rubbish at first, but then I gave up and built my own on an Ubuntu instance, which worked first time.
Not that hard to install yourself. It's a great product but either there's an undocumented config that's special to this instance or it's broke. Takes 10 minutes to get working. Used this great (albeit slightly out of date but workable) guide...
