# AWS Client VPN Is Now Available in Four New Regions!

Hi, I'm Shii-chan! I've got a nice bit of AWS news today for anyone who relies on VPNs.

## What was announced?

AWS's What's New page announced that AWS Client VPN is now available in four additional Regions:

- Canada West (Calgary)
- Mexico (Central)
- Asia Pacific (New Zealand)
- Asia Pacific (Taipei)

AWS Client VPN is a fully managed VPN service that lets remote workers securely connect to resources on AWS or in on-premises networks. It removes the need for hardware VPN appliances and cuts down on complex operational overhead.

## The story so far

Until now, Client VPN was only available in a subset of Regions, so teams working near Calgary, Mexico City, New Zealand, or Taipei had to set up endpoints in a more distant Region to connect. The farther the distance, the more latency creeps in, and that setup could also be a headache for organizations that need to keep data within their own country or region.

## What changes

With this expansion, teams near these four Regions can now stand up Client VPN endpoints closer to home. That should cut down on connection latency, and it gives organizations that want to keep resources within a nearby Region more options. Nothing changes about the single-console management and monitoring experience, so existing users should be able to jump into the new Regions without missing a beat.

## Dive Deep

Pricing stays pay-as-you-go, so you only pay for what you use. Since you don't need to procure or maintain hardware VPN appliances, Client VPN keeps upfront costs and operational load lower, as usual. For the full details on specs and pricing, check the AWS Client VPN product page, documentation, and pricing page.

## Wrap-up

- AWS Client VPN is now available in four new Regions: Canada West (Calgary), Mexico (Central), Asia Pacific (New Zealand), and Asia Pacific (Taipei)
- It's a fully managed, pay-as-you-go VPN service that needs no hardware appliances
- Centralized management through a single console stays the same, just with more Regions to choose from

This one's especially useful for infrastructure folks thinking about secure remote access for teams near these Regions!
