Setting access database on VPN, how?

adi2012

Hello,

I have classic Win XP PC which I would like to "turn" into server by installing Open VPN and than allow other client PCs from other cities to login and open database on server.

Looking through your website and reading, I followed these instructions

http://openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/download-openvpn-as-vm/202.html?osfamily=Virtual%20Appliance%20Windows%20%28VHD%29&ex=1

but I am really not sure how to accomplish this so any suggestion is more than welcome!

Thank you,
Adi

So the vpn and webserver are going to be the same machine?

you won't need openvpn access server for this, just download and install the community edition of openvpn and run it as a server; there are many standard setups available for this on the web.

first make sure your client can ping the server before attempting to open a database on the remote server.
