run your own high-end cloud gaming service on EC2 (Windows edition)

Stumbled upon this blog post about using AWS EC2 for gaming.

- The openvpn settings file provided are supposed to be used with TunnelBlick on Mac. Faced some problems with openvpn client in windows. Zerotier or hamachi should be easier to setup. Steam client detected the client after I connect with Zerotier.

- Streamed Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Borderlands 2. Borderlands was playable albeit a little laggy. FFXIII has some issues with the audio, constantly beeping in the background.

- Tried this on 30Mbit broadband. Will test this again when I get higher speed internet connection.
