Looking to create an encrypted connection to an AWS instance to act as a vpn

I don't understand, Doug - what are you running in the AWS instance?

This is essentially what I'm talking about.

With Sophos this should be trivial in terms of complexity to solve and powerful.

Hello Doug,

The Sophos UTM appliance is available in the AWS marketplace and you could use this to configure a Site-to-Site VPN between your OnPrem network router/firewall and your VPC in AWS.

Wow David,

Have you read the Sophos UTM reviews on AWS market place?  

Can agree about support and lack of HowTo documentation.

Have been using Sophos/Astaro now for ten years.  All in all this site is my go to place in resolving issues and finding solutions.

AWS is not for the faint of heart, is it, Bob?

I think the complaints about the lack of support are almost all from folks using the PAYG instances as they don't include support.  Also, I think working with a reputable Sophos Solution Partner will help get a solution with BYOL instances that both save money and include Sophos Support.

Cheers - Bob
