To call the Amazon WorkSpaces API through your VPC, you have to connect from an instance that is inside the VPC, or connect your private network to your VPC by using Amazon Virtual Private Network (Amazon VPN) or Amazon Direct Connect. For information, see [VPN Connections](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/vpc/latest/userguide/vpn-connections.html) in the *Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide*. For information about Amazon Direct Connect, see [Creating a Connection](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/directconnect/latest/UserGuide/create-connection.html) in the *Amazon Direct Connect User Guide*.
