Would you really want to take that chance with 50 remote users? I think using GNAT Box Light with the VPN option in this scenario is like trying to push a square peg in a round hole-- you may be able to force it to work but it isn't going to be pretty. If this was my home network (like Mike Burden's) then it wouldn't be a big deal. But I personally would not recommend this setup in a professional setting. Ideally, the RoBoX would be perfect. If budget is a concern the second best solution is to use GNAT Box Light-- but I would recommend using the VPN client through the GNAT Box Light. This would be lower cost and support the DHCP IP Addresses.
