如果你自己不身处美国，你用哪个都行，速度的差异不会很大。我用的是 Amazon EC2 (US East – N. Virginia) 这个地区的服务器，速度一直都很快。

应该是每次使用的时间都累积起来，到月底付账… 是按分钟算的。

在amazon ec2上没有找到速度测试的地方，上面有3个地点，不知道你当时用的是哪里的服务器？
它这个每小时是你登录以后1分钟也算1小时，还是每次使用的时间累加直到一小时才付款？

Apparently Putty uses a different type of key file to openssh, you need to convert the SSH key to putty format.

In Ubuntu, install Putty from the repositories and run the following command, changing the paths to your own:

puttygen /path/to/ssh-gen-privatekeyfile -O private -o /path/to/putty-formatted-privatekeyfile

I believe that there are equivalent tools to do the same on windows.

Amazing post! I happen to be in the same situation (ie. In China..) , and it would be great to get it to work, but I can’t figure out how to connect to my instance through Windows. putty keeps exiting when i select my key file.

Thanks for pointing those extra steps out of me – it seems that the guide isn’t as complete as I had thought. I will update it sometime this week when I have a moment or two to spare!

struggled a bit with Cygwin so got hold of an ubuntu vmware image and it works great apart from the odd intermitent failure (i think it’s the part that copies over the modified httpd.conf file).

I can get the EC2 server up and running within ubuntu, then connect to the proxy from windows.

Couple of things worth mentioning… I needed to set up the security groups in EC2 for HTTP, HTTPS and SSH to get it to work.

Probably also worth mentioning that when not using the elastic IP you should use the name or ip of the ec2 instance. Simple stuff but would help any AWS / linux novices like me!

Thanks!
