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.
