Hello -<br />
<br />
I'm looking to implement a (somewhat) cheap but reliable and secure VPN solution in a small organization. No more than 20 users at a time to connect to the main location for file sharing. It is a Windows environment(servers, laptops). I was looking into Direct Access but it seems like an overkill for such small organization (Licenses and servers). Ideally staff would use their AD credentials in order to authenticate. <br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you very much!

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
