I wanted to come back to share my AWS experience. In a nutshell, its even worse than what GCP Marketplace offers.
- Burried deep in the EULA details - the free version allows only 2 concurrent connections, just like the one on GCP. (here is the horrible EULA doc https://d7umqicpi7263.cloudfront.net/eula/product/fe8020db-5... )
- Experience of picking the type of product and launching is awful compared to GCP. Happy to share more details, but I definitely would say this is painful experience. GCP has done a much better job. I still honestly don't know whether I ended up subscribing to services that I don't really need/or will get billed. I just have to wait and see. (e.g had to create key value pair, security groups, I see a volume showing up in my EC2 dashboard, not sure if I am going to get billed for it! ). I don't work for either AWS or GCP, but honestly I feel GCP has done a much better job here. I don't like GCP marketplace OpenVPN also for the reasons I mentioned in my earlier post, but AWS is even worse.
- Here is their documentation for setting up and configuring OpenVPN through Marketplace - https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/amazon-web-services... . I am honestly shocked that they did such a bad job for a so called "one-click" application. I honestly don't think this is even designed for personal. It's more like try-me bait before they ask you pay to have someone set it up for you.
