The VPN Gateway allows you to connect to external networks securely through a VPN endpoint. It operates with our SDN Router, which can connect with one or multiple SDN Private Networks. All Cloud Servers connected to one of these SDN Private Networks can access the external networks via the Gateway.
In this guide, we will demonstrate how to set up a multi-cloud connection between UpCloud VPN Gateway and AWS VPN endpoint by completing the following steps:
- Create an UpCloud SDN Private Network
- Create an UpCloud SDN Router and connect to the private network
- Create an UpCloud VPN Gateway and connect it to the Router
- Create a new AWS VPC
- Create a new AWS Customer Gateway
- Create a new AWS Virtual Private Gateway
- Create a AWS Site-to-Site VPN Connection
- Set up IPs and PSKs on the UpCloud VPN Gateway
- Launch new servers on both AWS and UpCloud
- Test the multi-cloud VPN connection
Please note that the VPN Gateway operates on a route-based site-to-site connection. Policy-based VPN is not currently supported.
In addition to actual VPN and routing setup, this tutorial includes steps for VPC and security group creation on AWS and creating an EC2 instance and a Cloud Server on the UpCloud side for testing.
Note that a suitable VPC must exist on your AWS account before setting up a Site-to-Site VPN can start.
