Hi Adam, I'm not too familiar with VPNs. But our PC's sit on a LAN behind a firewall. A few PC's are VPN clients. Right now we have configured our firewall to map VPN clients on the private LAN to static external IP addresses. The rest of the PC's on the LAN are mapped to a single IP address. We are running out of external IP addresses. Was wondering if there was a way out instead of having to buy more IP addresses. So, i was wondering if there's a set up that could make our PC's connect to some sort of VPN server at our end which would act as a gateway to the actual server located far away.
