Installing OpenVPN Access Server into VPS windows server 2012 ?

Post by battery13v » Wed Dec 27, 2017 3:06 pm

Hi everyone i bought a VPS from Ovh.com it was a Windows Server 2012 R2 running With Hyper-V from the Company
i want to install OpenVPn Access Server on it cause it is easy to configure but could not install the hyper-v Version of it cause i'm running on a hyper-v machine
i want to ask the professionals if their is a way to install like using Cygwin or VirtualBox (if it worked) or there is an alternative or anything else and THx

If the VPS runs Windows Server 2012 R2 and on top of that it runs Hyper-V, then in Hyper-V you should be able to deploy Access Server's Hyper-V appliance.

If the VPS itself is running in Hyper-V that might not be possible.

Okay then why not just run another VPS next to it but this time a Linux one with Access Server on it?

I very much doubt you can get another virtualization platform running inide a virtual machine in a virtualization platform. Unless it's VMWare's solution, that can actually do it. But I don't think Hyper-V can. Sorry.
