    IPVanish looks like a VPN proxy server.
    (Maybe some of country will limit specific internet access, so needs this kind of software)

    But as I know USG VPN could be a VPN server but not a client role.

    Hi CHS,
    i have read the manual of USG and i have found:

    ".... Select the scenario that best describes your intended VPN connection. The figure on the left of the screen changes to match the scenario you select.

    • Site-to-site - The remote IPSec device has a static IP address or a domain name. This ZyWALL/ USG can initiate the VPN tunnel.

    • Site-to-sitewithDynamicPeer-TheremoteIPSecdevicehasadynamicIPaddress.Onlythe remote IPSec device can initiate the VPN tunnel.

    • Remote Access (Server Role) - Allow incoming connections from IPSec VPN clients. The clients have dynamic IP addresses and are also known as dial-in users. Only the clients can initiate the VPN tunnel.

    • Remote Access (Client Role) - Connect to an IPSec server. This ZyWALL/USG is the client (dial-in user) and can initiate the VPN tunnel. "

    It seems that remore access VPN Client role is supported. Can you help me to configure the VPN?
    Thanks

    @Fra
    I think "Remote Access (Client Role)" still can't establish VPN tunnel to IPVanish server.
    Because there is no "local policy" or "remote policy" required for IPVanish client.
    But Client Role on USG have to set "local policy" and "remote policy".

    The IPVanish just like others software: Tor or UltraSurf.
    Server supports any clients establishing connection those installed software.
    But gateway without IPVanish package, so I guess USG not support it.

    Thanks @CHS
    Hello Fra,
    The IPVanish server can be connected by client who installed the application.
    Moreover, the IPVanish server accept L2TP over Ipsec IKEv2, but the USG only support Remote access(Client role) in IPSec VPN.

    I think USG can fulfill your request and the topology should be
    Clinet-------USG=====[Site to Site VPN]=====AWS-----Internet.
    The configuration of Site to Site VPN is normal on USG, however, the VPN configuration on AWS, I think you need to ask AWS support.
    I just find the Site to Site configuration from FAQ(Note:the remote site will be AWS)
    Link: https://businessforum.zyxel.com/discussion/551/an-example-of-site-to-site-vpn#latest
    I think the price is not cheap, AWS charge by every traffic.....
