OpenVPN Access Server AMI for Secure Remote VPN Connectivity
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You pay by the hour for the software running on your chosen Amazon EC2 instance type. Every dimension here maps to one instance size, so pricing scales with the compute you pick rather than with users or features. Options span burstable T2, T3, and T3a families for lighter or variable workloads, and fixed-performance C, M, and R families for compute, general-purpose, or memory-heavy needs. Sizes range from small through xlarge. Larger or newer-generation instances carry higher hourly rates. You add AWS infrastructure charges separately, and you can stop or restart the instance anytime.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover, and what do I install on the instance?
Each hourly unit covers the OpenVPN Access Server software running on one EC2 instance of the size you pick. You deploy it as an Amazon Machine Image using CloudFormation or the EC2 console. The instance runs the VPN server, generates client certificates, and produces .ovpn profiles for your users.
Am I charged when I stop the instance, for example overnight or during downtime?
Software charges meter running instance-hours only. When you stop the instance from the EC2 console, hourly software charges pause. You can restart it anytime. Note that stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for the attached EBS volume and the Elastic IP, billed separately by AWS.
Does the hourly rate change if I add more VPN client users?
No. Your bill is driven by the instance size and hours run, not by client count. Adding clients uses the built-in script to generate more .ovpn profiles at no extra software charge. To support heavier client load, you would move to a larger instance, which carries a higher hourly rate.
