Using OpenVPN

You can use OpenVPN to create a secure tunnel between your workstation and the private subnet for the MapR cluster.

Using OpenVPN with AWS

To download the OpenVPN desktop client:
  1. On the Outputs tab, and copy the OpenVPNUrl. For example: 
    https://52.14.236.170:943/admin
  2. Paste the URL into a browser, but remove the admin. For example:
    https://52.14.236.170:943/
