Create an AWS Client VPN endpoint route

Focus mode
Create an AWS Client VPN endpoint route - AWS Client VPN

When you create a Client VPN endpoint route, you specify how traffic for the destination network should be directed.

To allow clients to access the internet, add a destination 0.0.0.0/0 route.

You can add routes to a Client VPN endpoint by using the console and the AWS CLI.

To create a Client VPN endpoint route (console)
  1. Open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Client VPN Endpoints.

  3. Select the Client VPN endpoint to which to add the route, choose Route table, and then choose Create route.

  4. For Route destination, specify the IPv4 CIDR range for the destination network. For example:

    • To add a route for the VPC of the Client VPN endpoint, enter the VPC's IPv4 CIDR range.

    • To add a route for internet access, enter 0.0.0.0/0.

    • To add a route for a peered VPC, enter the peered VPC's IPv4 CIDR range.

    • To add a route for an on-premises network, enter the AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection's IPv4 CIDR range.

  5. For Subnet ID for target network association, select the subnet that is associated with the Client VPN endpoint.

    Alternatively, if you're adding a route for the local Client VPN endpoint network, select local.

  6. (Optional) For Description, enter a brief description for the route.

  7. Choose Create route.
