With the client having a static IP, things become a LOT simpler. Simply |
| 7 |
flip things around and have the ""Client be the VPN server and the |
| 8 |
""Host be the VPN client. |

This REALLY SIGNIFICANTLY simplifies things. |

I sort of wonder what services the server is offering if it can't be |
| 17 |
readilyi accessed from the outside world. But there are a many |
| 18 |
different things that it can be doing locally. I digress. |

I seem to have been interrupted during the qeustion that I was asking. |

Not that I remember it now. Sorry for the confusion. |

In light of the client's static IP, that just means that you need to use |
| 30 |
a VPN that has a /client/ that will run on Windows. (I suspect this |
| 31 |
simplifies things.) |

I'd abandon the idea of putting the VPN server on the Windows host. |
| 37 |
Instead, focus on putting the VPN server on the ""Client outside with a |
| 38 |
static IP. |

That is what you want. |

I understand wanting to avoid VPN services. I was referring to renting |
| 49 |
a Virtual Private Server and running your own VPN service. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
But since the ""Client has a static IP, you don't need the VPS. |
