A script to create on-demand disposable OpenVPN endpoints on AWS with a single command.
AutoVPN is a Python-based CLI tool that automates the creation of disposable OpenVPN endpoints on AWS EC2. It solves the problem of manually setting up VPN servers by providing a single command to deploy, configure, and manage temporary VPN instances, reducing both time and cost for short-term secure networking needs.
Developers, DevOps engineers, and security professionals who need temporary, secure VPN access to AWS resources or other networks without maintaining permanent infrastructure.
It offers a fast, automated, and cost-effective alternative to manual VPN setup, with built-in management features and customization options, all through a simple command-line interface.

Creates a fully configured OpenVPN endpoint in any AWS region in about 3 minutes with a single command, as highlighted in the README's key features.
Sets up security groups, tags EC2 instances, and installs OpenVPN software automatically, eliminating manual infrastructure management steps.
Designed for on-demand, disposable instances that terminate after use, minimizing costs by charging only for active runtime, per the philosophy.
Includes commands to list running instances, generate SSH keypairs, and terminate endpoints, simplifying lifecycle management from the CLI.
The README explicitly states no further updates, bug fixes, or support, posing security and compatibility risks for users.
Limited to AWS EC2 instances with no support for other cloud platforms or on-premise deployments, reducing flexibility.
Requires manual installation of Python virtualenv, AWS credentials, and OpenVPN client, which adds complexity compared to turnkey solutions.
From the To-Do list, it lacks ability to create more client configs for one endpoint, hindering scalability for team use.
