I have recently created a Win10 AWS WorkSpace and I want to connect from there to my public VPN server. I am using the same settings as on my home internet but in AWS the connections times out. Is something network related that prevents the L2TP or PPTP VPN connections. Can I configure or setup additional network settings on AWS? thanks,

SWE

  • What is the VPN client that you are using? Can you access the VPN logs from your client? Is the Windows firewall blocking? https://www.magnumvpn.com/setup-windows-10-firewall-l2tp.html – John Hanley Mar 25 '18 at 15:00
  • @JohnHanley I've tried also with the firewall turned off but nothing changing. I'm using the native Windows 10 VPN client – SWE Mar 25 '18 at 20:13
  • Use the Windows Event Viewer to look for events from RasClient. This may help you. Also look at this document https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/325034/how-to-troubleshoot-a-microsoft-l2tp-ipsec-virtual-private-network-cli – John Hanley Mar 26 '18 at 00:16
  • Also, review your security group settings for WorkSpaces https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/amazon-workspaces-security-groups.html – John Hanley Mar 27 '18 at 20:48
  • @SWE Did you ever figure it out? – Joel Christophel Sep 01 '21 at 20:39

I faced the same problem. The issue was the "Amazon WorkSpaces Security Group" created on the VPC for the workspace. Check the outbound rule, it's allowing custom, even with 0.0.0.0/0 still blocking. I changed to Anywhere-ipv4 and saved. It worked for me.
