Hello. Need a Suggestion with VPN

[Carl87Wilson]

How do I host an exchange server and manage my boxes from work? I'm not sure sure if my VPN supports incoming UDP or TCP ports. I am getting an option there and even called them and asked them about it but I need to be sure I get a provider that allows access to incoming ports.

Huh.. So let me get this right - you have a work connection. And you want that work traffic to flow through a vpn to hide it from your isp? The legit work traffic, ie accepting email to your domain and such..

Wow just wow..

Or are you trying to circumvent some isp tos that does not allow you to run servers, ie no inbound ports like 80 or 25.. Or your behind a carrier grade nat and your isp does not provide you with ways around that??

I am having hard time understanding why a business connection would have need of some vpn service, etc. Hosting vpn connection for your road warriors - sure.. But some vpn service, makes zero sense for a business connection that would be hosting services.

Your not going to run a business behind a carrier grade nat.. Get a new connection would be suggestion 1.

Suggestion 2, get a vps somewhere. Run a vpn connection to that, and tunnel down any traffic you need to tunnel down into your actual location. But better yet would be to put the services the public needs to get to there in the first place.

Your not going to find a "vpn" service to do what you can do way cheaper and easier with a simple vps or multiple vps all over the globe, etc.
