AWS VPC Wizard

This guide explains how to use the AWS VPC Wizard, available in pfSense^® Plus software, to simplify the configuration of a VPN to a remote VPC. The administrator is asked for the minimum amount of basic information required to establish the VPN. The configurations, both on the AWS VPC side and on the pfSense^® Plus software side are then automatically created. When the wizard is finished executing, a functioning VPN connection to a VPC should be established.
