      Hello All,

      Tech dude but not a WAN/VPN expert. Any help would be appreciated.

      I need connect two (or more) ESXi hosts, or other hosts/appliances that cannot install a VPN client, in different locations behind NAT.

      OpenVPN?

      It seems to me that there would need to be a site-to-site vpn setup and the ESXi hosts would need to have a separate VMkernel setup for the VPN connection through OpenVPN.

      Another option would be to setup the vpn as a gateway/router and change the gateway in the hosts.

      Does either of these make sense? Is there a better way to do it? Is there documentation?

      Thanks in advance,

      ~eric
