Using AWS Firebox as a connection for VPN

hungn

General question relatively new to WatchGuard. We have a virtual Firebox on AWS are we able to create a VPN connection for our users to that AWS Firebox. I am hoping if they are pointed to that Firebox the connection to AWS would be better as we are using FSX as our fileserver now.

I assume our mapping is client -> office network -> AWS VPN tunnel -> AWS FSX.
I hope that makes sense I am wondering if this would be bring speed if it goes
Client -> AWS VPN Firebox -> FSX.

Hi @hungn

Creating a VPN via Firebox Cloud is almost identical to making one on a standard firebox (the main differences are that the interfaces are what AWS provides, vice being actual physical interfaces.)

If you're looking for a place to start, I'd suggest this article, which goes over everything by topic:
