Is it possible to use the openvpn software client directly with the default amazon VPC gateway? I've seen articles regarding doing it with an OpenVPN Access server, but I was wondering if it someone has figured out how to connect an openvpn software client directly to the VPC gateway, since really its just a VPN access server.

If this is possible, could you please point me to a tutorial or provide some guidance? My Google-Fu keeps turning up OpenVPN AS articles. Thanks.

In their documentation, http://aws.amazon.com/vpc/, Amazon states that they use IPSec to encrypt the communication, OpenVPN uses SSL/TLS to do it, therefore I see no way to connect the two.
