9 times out of 10 a hardware based IPSEC VPN will do the job. Set it up once and just leave it to run.
Gavin Wilby IT Support Engineer -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt Buff Sent: 29 February 2016 04:16 To: ntsysadm Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Direct access Depends on the situation. Assuming both sites have Internet access, first choice would be an IPSec tunnel between the firewalls protecting each site, if the firewalls are capable of such (and I'm not aware of any that aren't.) Next would probably be an IPSec tunnel between a pair of OpenVPN machines at each site (maybe using pfsense or even just FreeBSD.) If the sites don't have, and are prohibited from having, Internet access - then a point-to-point link of whatever speed is necessary. Should be a simple routing setup at that point.
