Setting up for the following scenario.

atulskulkarni

Hello All,

Apologies if this is a FAQ but I did not find it in the answers hence positing it here. I have a following scenario and I am curious how can I use OpenVPN-(AS) to solve my issue.

1. I have two Application servers in two different LANs separated by WAN that need to communicate with each other over around 2500 different ports.
2. Both of them have Static IP addressing and IP addresses cannot be changed on the fly.
3. I only have ssl port open for me to communicate with eachother.

Questions:

1. Can I build a SSL tunnel using OpenVPN to do the needful?
2. will the following OpenVPN-AS scenario work?

Scenario:
1. I setup a publicly visible VPN Server (vpnserver.somedomain.com)
2. Make Application servers on both sides connect to this publicly visible VPN server using OpenVPN-Client
3. Then connect from Application server 1 to Application Server 2 just like they are can see each other.

Is this even feasible?

Any pointers towards - how to achieve this?

I would appreciate any help in this regard,

Thanks and Regards,
Atul.
