How to connect via ssh to OpenVPN Access Server AWS AMI?

Post by simPod » Thu Jan 12, 2017 5:20 pm

Hey, I'm on OSX and just launched this AMI https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00MI40CAE

However, I'm not able to connect via ssh to the instance. How can I do that?

I'm trying this command `ssh -i ~/.ssh/mykey.pem openvpn@mypublicip -vvv` but it says `Permission denied (publickey).`

This works for other instances so I thing I didn't guess the username right or...? Thanks!

Try username openvpnas ?
I'm still alive, just posting under the openvpn_inc alias now as part of a larger group.
