OverviewThis is a how-to guide to show the steps involved in networking a Windows-based office network to OpenVPN Cloud. The diagram below illustrates an office LAN with an assigned subnet of 192.168.10.0/24 connecting Windows computers together. These computers get access to the Internet via a router. The Windows Server has two ethernet interfaces: one for access to the LAN subnet and another for access to the Internet via the router. The Windows Server will be used to route traffic to OpenVPN Cloud. In order to connect this office network to OpenVPN Cloud, Windows Server needs to create a tunnel (which results in creating a new virtual interface) to one of the OpenVPN Cloud Regions and then route packets between the three interfaces: office LAN, Internet, and OpenVPN Cloud. For the Server to establish a tunnel to the VPN Region, Connector software needs to be installed on it. For the Server to route between all three LAN interfaces, routing needs to be enabled on it. The key steps that need to be undertaken are:
ImplementationIn order to make the office network reachable from OpenVPN Cloud, follow these steps: Add the office subnet as a Network using OpenVPN Cloud Administration portal Windows 2022
