1. I need to set  VPN servers over Amazon US , EU and my own network using IPSEC..Use Linux IPSEC using racoon or openswan - http://www.ipsec-howto.org/t1.html
2  I want to setup some VPN clients under the VPN servers over Amazon EC2 ..OpenVPN using SSL VPN is your best bet.

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks,

Himanshu

Cloud-computing gurus,

Any ideas of what would be performance of OpenVPN running hundreds and hundreds connections, each of them may be a combination of various protocols: http/https, mail, chats, and voice/video streaming (skype, conference, etc)?
Any CPU/memory usage metric or any numbers based on the number of the connections?
Experience of running on various instances? small/large?

How well the "elastic" feature of EC2 works if there is one end-point for VPN connections on the load balancer, and there are number of OpenVPN servers running on the instances or even a couple per instance.? When it happens (add another instance) on the fly?

Thanks,
Alex

OpenVPN is very good. It puts encrypted and compressed IP packets
inside of UDP packets.

I have installed OpenVPN on my WIFI router. I can login from
anywhere.
Speedtest shows ~3.5 mbits in both sides for internet.

I was in turkey recently and youtube is prohibited there but it worked
for me very well. No lags.

Concern hundreds connections> It is wrong question.
You should look how many packets are sent and how many packets EC2 is
able to process.
Ping and number of lost packets are very important.

I have used Openswan for IPsec tunnel http://www.openswan.org . and I
wonder if there is any windows version is available or not . I have
created a tunnel between router and Linux gateway at Ec2 using IPsec
and the I have created SSL tunnel between Gateway and other nodes
(which includes Windows and Linux ) using OpenVPn
Please let me know more about your topology , If you are using Kaavo's
IMOD (https://imod.kaavo.com ) I can build a for you to automate the
whole process.
