I will aws ec2 windows workstation with residential outbound IP setup
Over deze dienst
I will set up your persistent AWS Windows Cloud Workstation with a static inbound Elastic IP and true residential egress IP via cheap proxy just like in my dev.to guide!
Perfect for:
- Managing geo-restricted accounts (LinkedIn, ads, banking, etc.) from everywhere without datacenter flags
- Freelancers/agencies needing a 'fixed' Windows machine in the cloud
- Avoiding expensive Amazon WorkSpaces or always-on bills
What you get:
- Launch of t3.large (or custom) EC2 Windows Server 2022 instance in us-east-1
- Elastic IP for stable inbound RDP access (secure, restricted to your IP)
- Residential proxy setup (IPRoyal/Webshare or similar) for browser/system egress from your selected location (~$3-5/month extra, not included)
- Full hardening: Defender on, services disabled, lockout policy, Windows updates
- Persistence via EBS volume (files, apps, Chrome profiles, configs survive stops)
- Stop/start automation tips to keep costs ~$30-40/month (business hours only)
- RDP access guide + verification (ipinfo.io for egress check)
Why this over alternatives?
- Cheaper than WorkSpaces (~1/3 the cost)
- Real residential egress
- Full control: install a any software, leave sessions open

Why this over alternatives?
This setup is based on my detailed guide on dev.to: https://dev.to/lbcristaldo/cloud-workstation-on-aws-for-36month-windows-ec2-static-ip-and-denver-egress-explained-36f3 Check it out for the full explanation, scripts, and cost breakdown!
What do I need to get started?
Your active AWS account (with billing enabled), your current IP address (to restrict RDP access), and your preferred location for the residential egress (e.g., Denver, New York, etc.). I’ll guide you step by step if needed.
How much does the workstation cost per month?
~$30–40 USD/month if you use it only during business hours (8h/day, 5 days/week) thanks to stop/start. + ~$3–5/month for the residential proxy (not included). Much cheaper than WorkSpaces.
Is the residential proxy tied to a specific location?
Yes, you choose the city/state/country (wide US coverage: Denver, New York, California, Florida, etc.). We use reliable providers like IPRoyal or Webshare. You subscribe directly.
Can I install any software or app?
Yes, you have full control: install whatever you need (Chrome extensions, Office, dev tools, etc.). The environment is persistent via EBS.
How do I access the machine?
Via Remote Desktop (RDP) from any device (PC, Mac, mobile). I provide a complete guide + secure credentials. Access is restricted to your IP only for security.
How long does delivery take?
1–3 days depending on the package. Basic: 1 day; Standard/Premium: 2–3 days. Includes testing and limited revisions.
What if I need changes or support later?
The gig is a one-time setup. For monthly maintenance or extras (auto start/stop, extra security), order a Gig Extra or contact me for a custom offer.
Do I need any technical knowledge or experience?
No technical knowledge is required from your side! I'll handle the entire setup (EC2 launch, security groups, proxy configuration, hardening, etc.) using my scripts and best practices. You just need to provide your AWS account details.
