Maybe double check, but I understand a VPN connection at AWS Virtual
Private Cloud (VPC) costs USD $0.05 per hour [1], which is approx. USD
$37.- per month.
Running a (very) small Linux EC2 instance with a static IP at AWS in
Australia costs USD $0.0146 per hour (t2.micro) [2], which is approx.
USD $11.- per month. With an 1-year commitment ("reserved instance"),
you can save up to 37% on top of that [3].
Don't get me wrong, the VPN at AWS is a nice service, but it depends on
the use case if it's worth the money :-)
