See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you run this VPN server on. All dimensions bill the same software at the same hourly software rate; the difference is the underlying compute capacity of each instance. Smaller t2 and t3 sizes (nano, micro, small) suit low-performance needs and can reduce costs. Larger m5-family sizes (up to 4xlarge) provide more compute, memory, and network capacity. Choose the instance size that matches your workload. You pay only for the hours the server runs, with no fixed commitment term.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What resources do I get for the hourly charge on each instance type?
Each hourly rate covers the VPN server software running on that EC2 instance size. The t2 and t3 nano through medium sizes give lower compute for light use. The m5-family and larger t3 sizes give more CPU, memory, and network capacity. You pick the size that fits your load.
Am I charged the hourly software rate when the VPN server is stopped?
The software rate meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue software charges. However, underlying AWS storage and any reserved resources may still incur AWS fees while the instance is stopped. Restarting resumes hourly software billing.
Does the number of VPN users affect my hourly cost?
No. Billing depends only on the EC2 instance size you run and its hours, not on user count. The number of VPN users is not limited. The default pool reserves 250 static IP addresses and can be extended without changing the pricing dimension.

You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
Additional details
Usage instructions
STARTING THE SERVER
Launch the server. This server does not require the powerful computing resources - you can choose a simple instance type. If the Elastic IP was assigned to a running instance, the instance must be restarted.
Linux username: admin
After launching the server, it immediately ready to work; no additional settings not required.
OpenVPN port: 443 (TCP)
User authentication: OVPN file, containing certificate + username/password. Server certificates are automatically generated and installed on the server when instance is launched for the first time. User certificates are the same for all users.
ZIP archive containing OVPN file can be downloaded using a web browser:
https://[Public IP address]:8443/config/ovpn-download.php
use "config" as username and your instance ID as password.
User logins and passwords are stored in a database on the server. User records can be managed with the help of a user management Web Panel:
https://[Public IP address]:8443
use "administrator" as username and your instance ID as password.
When accessing the Web Panel or downloading ZIP archive using the HTTPS protocol, your web browser may display a warning about potential risks due to the use of IP address in the URL. In this case, you should proceed and accept the risks, as our goal is to encrypt traffic, and there is no reason to worry about using IP address in a web browser.
OpenVPN-CLIENT SETUP
Before creating a VPN connection, you will need to install the OpenVPN GUI client application (not OpenVPN Connect !!!) on the client side. OpenVPN client applications are available on the web for Windows, Linux, Android, iOS and macOS. To create a VPN connection, simply import the OVPN configuration file into the client application.
CONNECTION OF 2 COMPUTERS THROUGH VPN
When the server starts for the first time, it creates 2 test users: "user1" and "user2" so you can try to establish 2 simultaneous connections from 2 different computers and check the visibility of these computers through this OpenVPN server. Passwords for these users can be found in the Web Panel (Management->List Users). According to initial settings, the IP address 10.1.1.10 is assigned to "user1" and 10.1.1.20 is assigned to "user2". The IP address is reserved for each user and can be changed in the control panel.
If clients "user1" and "user2" are simultaneously connected to this server, they will be able to see each other. You can check it with help of "ping" command: in Windows computers you can click "Run..." menu item of Start Menu, then print "cmd" to open Command Prompt and then execute command: "ping 10.1.1.20" (or "ping 10.1.1.10" on another computer respectively).
After successfully completing the ping test, you can establish the secure connection between remote computers via VPN. In Windows computers, you can click "Run..." menu item of Start Menu and execute the command like "\\10.1.1.20\" to see the shared folders of another computer.
It should be noted that the computer icon will also appear in the Windows network environment if the workgroup names of these client computers match.
ADDITIONAL INFO
Default local network: 10.1.1.0/24. To change network (for example, to 192.168.50.0/24) please run: "sudo bash /home/admin/set_network.sh 192.168.50.0"
For more convenience, phpMyAdmin (database management) is available at:
https://[Public IP address]:8443/phpmyadmin/
Default username for phpMyAdmin: "administrator", initial password is your instance ID.
By default, access to phpMyAdmin is denied in .htaccess file: /usr/share/phpmyadmin/.htaccess
