IPSEC VPN Between AWS

Hi ,

   I want to create a IPSEC Tunnel between On-premise Checkpoint VPN device(R80.x) to AWS VPC .  Is there any AMI  which I can use?

  Once established can I access a RDS endpoint in the private subnet of AWS VPC (appdb.xxx.xxx.dns.com 3306 port ) from the On-premise checkpoint VPN device ? If its possible can someone help any documentation/links to try out this option?

Looks like there are some challenges while accessing the DNS. Can anybody help in this regard?

Technically you don’t even need an AMI to terminate a VPN in AWS.
See: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solut...

If you do want to terminate the VPN with a Check Point gateway in your VPC, you can do that as well by using any of the standard gateway AMIs.

Not exactly sure about the DNS part of it but I assume you can configure your on-premise DNS server to forward requests for the relevant domain over the VPN tunnel to the internal AWS DNS server (assuming the name can’t be externally resolved).
