Script to Create On Demand OpenVPN Endpoints on AWS.

OVERVIEW

Script that allows the easy creation of OpenVPN endpoints in any AWS region. To create a VPN endpoint is done with a single command takes ~3 minutes. It will create a VPC with proper security groups. It spins up a tagged ec2 instance and configures OpenVPN software. Once instance is configured an OpenVPN configuration file is downloaded and ready to use. There is also functionality to see which instances are running in which region and ability to terminate the instance when done. Additional functionality includes specifying instance type, generate ssh keypairs, specify custom ami, change login user and more to come.

Dependencies: boto and paramiko (python packages) and aws .credentials file on system

1. Clone repo to system.
2. Execute autovpn with -C -k and -r options to deploy to AWS ./autovpn -C -r us-east-1 -k macbook
3. OpenVPN config files are downloaded to current working directory.
4. Import the OpenVPN config file into VPN client.
5. Connect to VPN.

DESCRIPTION:
   autovpn - AWS OpenVPN Deployment Tool.
	Project found at https://github.com/ttlequals0/autovpn
USAGE:
        ACTION	 [OPTIONS]
       -C    Create VPN endpoint.
       -D    Delete keypair from region.
       -G    Generate new keypair.
       -S    Get all running instances in a given region.
       -T    Terminate a OpenVPN endpoint.
       -a    Specify custom ami.*
       -h    Displays this message.
       -i    AWS Instance type (Optional, Default is t2.micro)
		t2.nano t2.micro t2.small t2.medium t2.large.**
       -k    Specify the name of AWS keypair (Required)
       -m    Allow multiple connections to same endpoint.
       -r    Specify AWS Region (Required)
		us-east-1 us-west-1 us-east-2 us-west-2 eu-west-1 eu-west-2 
		eu-central-1 ap-southeast-1 ap-northeast-1 ap-northeast-2 
		ap-southeast-2 sa-east-1 ca-central-1
       -u    Specify custom ssh user.***
       -y    Skip confirmations
       -z    Specify instance id.
EXAMPLES:
  Create OpenVPN endpoint:
	autovpn -C -r us-east-1 -k macbook
  Generate keypair in a region.
	autovpn -G -r us-east-1
  Get running instances
	autovpn -S -r us-east-1
  Terminate OpenVPN endpoint
	autovpn -T -r us-east-1 -z i-b933e00c
  Using custom options
    autovpn -C -r us-east-1 -k macbook -a ami-fce3c696 -u ec2_user -i m3.medium
NOTES:
        \* - Customs ami may be needed if changing instance type.
       	\** - In reality any instance size can be given but the t2.micro is more than
       	 enough.
        \*** - Custom user might be need if using a custom ami.
