How can I use a VPN to protect an EC2 instance so that only my devs can access it

Question

I have a dev EC2 instance and I would like to use a VPN (ideally provided by AWS) so that only my web devs could access the website on port 80

Is this What virtual private connect is for?

Put it in an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, or just limit the EC2 instance's security group to port 80 and your web devs' IP addresses.

	Care to expand on what that is and how it would help? – ckliborn Dec 15 '11 at 22:10

Set up OpenVPN and make apache only listen on the VPN interface: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/bind.html.
