## DESCRIPTION

This object represents an Amazon EC2 VPC VPN connection, and is returned by VM::EC2-\>**describe\_vpn\_connections()**

## METHODS

These object methods are supported:

```
 vpnConnectionId              -- The ID of the VPN connection.
 state                        -- The current state of the VPN connection.
                                 Valid values: pending | available | deleting | deleted
 customerGatewayConfiguration -- Configuration information for the VPN connection's
                                 customer gateway (in the native XML format). This
                                 element is always present in the CreateVpnConnection
                                 response; however, it's present in the
                                 DescribeVpnConnections response only if the VPN
                                 connection is in the pending or available state.

                                 connection.
 vpnGatewayId                 -- ID of the virtual private gateway at the VPC end of
                                 the VPN connection.
 tagSet                       -- Tags assigned to the resource.
 vgwTelemetry                 -- Information about the virtual private gateway.
 vpn_telemetry                -- Alias for vgwTelemetry
```

The following convenience methods are supported:

```
 vpn_gateway                  -- Returns a L<VM::EC2::VPC::VpnGateway> object
 customer_gateway             -- Returns a L<VM::EC2::VPC::CustomerGateway> object
```

The object also supports the **tags()** method described in VM::EC2::Generic:

## STRING OVERLOADING
