First of all, don’t use CentOS, it’s 2023 (and EOL)
Second of all, you can abuse the AWS free tier to host your VPN since they assign a dynamic IP for all the ec2 instances, so turning it off and on again gives you a new IP.
The OpenVPN project was many years ago on CentOS, I haven’t dabbled in Linux distros for many years now and have no idea what distro would be ideal this kind of project today.
Duly noted about WireGuard! If they have a windows client that supports split tunnelling then I am definitely going to try AWS + WireGuard. Will look into it when I’m home.
