How do you make your hardware VPN redundant?
For this scenario, do the following:
- Set up a second Site-to-Site VPN connection by using the same virtual private gateway and creating a new customer gateway. The customer gateway IP address for the second Site-to-Site VPN connection must be publicly accessible.
- Configure a second customer gateway device.
How many VPN tunnels will be created part of AWS site-to-site connection?
two tunnels
Each Site-to-Site VPN connection has two tunnels, with each tunnel using a unique virtual private gateway public IP address. It is important to configure both tunnels for redundancy.
What is Virtual Private gateway?
A virtual private gateway is a logical, fully redundant distributed edge routing function that sits at the edge of your VPC. As it is capable of terminating VPN connections from your on-prem or customer environments, the VPG is the VPN concentrator on the Amazon side of the Site-to-Site VPN connection.
What is an AWS transit gateway?
AWS Transit Gateway connects VPCs and on-premises networks through a central hub. This simplifies your network and puts an end to complex peering relationships. It acts as a cloud router – each new connection is only made once.
How do I find my AWS VPN log?

You can combine this connection with an AWS Site-to-Site VPN to create an IPsec-encrypted connection.
How does a VPN connection work with Amazon?
On the AWS side of the Site-to-Site VPN connection, a virtual private gateway provides two VPN endpoints (tunnels) for automatic failover. You configure your customer gateway on the remote side of the Site-to-Site VPN connection. For more information, see the AWS Site-to-Site VPN User Guide, and the Amazon VPC Network Administrator Guide.
How to use redundant site to site VPN connections?
By using redundant Site-to-Site VPN connections and customer gateway devices, you can perform maintenance on one of your devices while traffic continues to flow over the second customer gateway’s Site-to-Site VPN connection. The following diagram shows the two tunnels of each Site-to-Site VPN connection and two customer gateways.
Is there a VPN appliance for Amazon EC2?
You can create a VPN connection to your remote network by using an Amazon EC2 instance in your VPC that’s running a third party software VPN appliance. AWS does not provide or maintain third party software VPN appliances; however, you can choose from a range of products provided by partners and open source communities.
