Reviewing the VPN Connection

After creating a new VPN connection between the firewall and a VPC on AWS, you can view details of how the process changed their respective configurations.

On the firewall, navigate to NETWORK | IPSec VPN > AWS VPN. Find the row in the VPC table corresponding to the AWS VPC in question and click Information.

Because the VPN connection has only just been created, the status is reported as still pending. Use Refresh on the AWS VPN page to reload the data in the table and on the associated VPN Connection Details window.

The following sections describe the configuration on the firewall and on AWS.
