hello, pre-sales question about configuration for anyone who is around
I am looking to setup OpenVPN-AS on Amazon EC2, so that I can have three different offices be better interconnected to access resources from the first office, such as NAS and network printers.
The big picture makes sense in my head, but I dont know what approach I should take on each client (each of the three remote offices) end.
Location 1 which has the NAS and network printers (no central print server, BTW) has a Windows server I can install an OpenVPN client on....but I am trying not to have other servers in locations 2 and 3, which are small satellite offices/showrooms. I also don't want each computer at offices 2 & 3 to have to use the openVPN client on each desktop to tackle that challenge.
so I'm wondering how offices 2 and 3, which don't have local office servers, should connect to the VPN setup by the OpenVPN-AS server on EC2, so that they can seamlessly access resources at Location 1, which has a NAS and network printers.
Is this the right planned approach? Or really should I be installing OpenVPN-AS on a local server at location 1, instead of having it in the cloud? (See attached diagram)
any thoughts and feedback would be appreciated
