Both devices have public IP addresses.
I cannot work out what I need to install/config on the Windows Server to allow the router to connect to it.

For security reasons and aggravation you are better to install a VPN capable router at the server end. It's not a simple set up and the server has a tendency to occasionally drop the connection, or rather if the connection drops it doesn't reestablish communication..

Unfortunately in this circumstance I cannot put a router at the server end. The server is an AWS instance. The router to server setup is for a short term demonstration.
Ah, understandable. I am not at all familiar with doing so but I have worked on systems were there is a local router connected to AWS using a VPN. As I understand it, it is configured using AWS networking features and not to the server itself. I apologize I am no help with that but I am sure there are many others who are. It is quite common I am sure.
