OK totally noob here. My boss has ask me to look into using OpenVPN.
Our setup and problem (can OpenVPN help/work for us)
- We are an all Windows server 2008R2 setup (4 servers on a rack at a hosting company)
- The servers (sad to say) are using only IP based security rules via windows FireWall
- I must add and update the rules to allow new Dev/IT team members access by adding their IP's to the scope. (its a pain to keep track of and if a Dev/IT members IP changes then they cant get in until I make the update)
-???- I don't see in "OpenVPN Access Server" download anything for Windows server.. am I missing something or am I in the wrong place?

What I would like to do (if OpenVPN can)
- Install VPN server side app/service on the Servers
- Have our Dev team install the VPN client (give them connecting details/keys/PW's)
- Then can kill and close up all the ports we have open (to IP scope/list) on the servers as that our Dev team will get into the servers via VPN?
-???- So can OpenVPN do this for Windows Servers??
Thanks for all and any help, I need it
