I support a small, non-profit organization on a budget (25 users).
We are currently looking for a free VPN solution to replace LogMeIn Hamachi. Our organization consists of a central office (1 Windows 2003 server, 25 workstations), 2 laptops which are often taken off site, and a remote office with 2 desktop PCs. All workstations are running Windows 7.
Complexity of configuration for IT is not a problem so long as it can be made user-friendly for the users. With Hamachi, the client software automatically created the VPN tunnel behind the scenes with no additional effort required by the user. I would like to replicate this incredibly user-friendly experience in OpenVPN if possible.
Requirements:
- router-router VPN connection to link remote office to main office
- a solution that allows the remote laptops create a tunnel back to the main office no matter where they are (i.e. so router configuration at the remote site won't be an issue if they are at third party offices)
Any advice on getting started would be much appreciated! 😃
