We have an open VPN install (one to many) and it seems to be working well, but are new to this so seeking advice. We have (windows) client machines that automatically log in to our (openVPN, File, database aka original) server and access a MS SQL database and file shares. We now want to "reverse" the process and create a many to many network. The original server need to access one or more other "client server" and perform similar file and database sharing. It seems we have two choices:
Make the original server both a server and a client for openVPN connections.
Have the original Server as just a server but use the the openVPN tunnel in the "opposite" direction needing to fix the (apparent) ip of the client server.
I am sure there are pros and cons (or may be they will both work or not work equally well)?
Anyone who has such a topology, please advise any pitfalls. Thanks
