Testing Sidewalk Outside of the United States (U.S.)

IMPORTANT: Amazon Sidewalk is available only in the United States of America. Use of Sidewalk gateway functionality outside of the U.S. is limited to ONLY Amazon Sidewalk end device development and testing. Use of Amazon Sidewalk outside of the U.S. may violate local regulations. Developers are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with local regulations. We recommend that you consult with your local regulatory body and operate Amazon Sidewalk devices only within shielded chambers or another method that prevent wireless signals from exiting your testing environment. To enable operation outside of the U.S. for your development, you need to use a VPN router that supports OpenVPN Client functionality, in conjunction with a cloud VPN service provider. Please refer to the following sections for more details. You are also solely responsible for compliance with any local regulations regarding VPN use.

In order to test Amazon Sidewalk outside of the U.S., you need to:
