There you are presented with a form to fill out. To setup the AWS Client VPN Endpoint, you need to navigate into VPC and select Client VPN Endpoints section. If you want to change this, you’ll need to change out server in the appropriate places above.

The instructions are pretty clear and just follow them. Creating and uploading the OpenVPN Server Certificate On the next page choose the VPC you want to connect it to (I just used the default VPC), review the AD configuration and click create.
