If I understand your situation correctly, you want to open a port on the AWS and forward all connections to it to your home server. This sounds like a task for which https://github.com/securesocketfunneling/ssf can be used. After generating certificates (generate your own!) start the SSF server on the AWS and the client on your home server, using the option to forward TCP from server to client.
