A. Introduction

• First, you need an Amazon AWS Free account.
• This article is quite vague instructions, one is due to Amazon’s firewall and port policies, the other is that you only need to mess around once, and then connect is quite easy
• I instruct to use Outline VPN, not install OpenVPN or L2IP because Outline VPN can be used on multiple platforms, easy to set up.
