I am running an Amazon EC2 instance which I use as a workstation. Right now it's in a public subnet and I connect to it through RDP by using its public IP. However, I'm concerned that this might not be a good and secure setup, even though it has a security group that limits most oncoming traffic.
It occurred to me that it might be better to place the instance in a private subnet, create a secure VPN connection from my end to the VPC, and RDP to the instance like it was in the same private network. Does this make sense? If so, how would I establish such a connection? Much of the information I find on Google is about establishing a VPN connection through hardware, but I guess there should be a way to do it through software, and I can't seem to find a proper explanation.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks, maybe I wasn't using the right words for my search. I'll keep my current setup and do some research on the topic. – Roma149 – 2014-10-04T19:05:55.283
