AWS Remote access options

Apart from Cisco ASA Anyconnect, what other options are there in AWS ?

We really need to find an option that automatically connects when the user PC is booted.

Hello. AWS Systems Manager Session Manager: This service allows you to securely connect and manage EC2 instances without the need for bastion hosts or open SSH ports. With Session Manager, there's no need for SSH keys, and the connections are made over HTTPS. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/session-manager.html

VPN Connections: If you need a more permanent connection from on-premises networks or other VPCs, you can set up an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection.

  • Thats not quite what we need. We are after a solution for user PCs, to automatically connect into our VPC so they can get group policy updates. We use Anyconnect for general connections, but that is up to the user to connect and we can't relie on them doing this themselves

  • If you're looking to ensure that user PCs automatically connect to your AWS VPC to receive group policy updates, you're essentially looking for an always-on VPN solution. Here are some potential alternatives to Cisco ASA Anyconnect that can provide an automatic, always-on VPN connection:

    OpenVPN AWS Client VPN Palo Alto GlobalProtect Fortinet FortiClient
