Software VPN Tunnel on Windows Server 2008 R2

http://serverfault.com – We are in the process of migrating a datacenter hosted web application to a cloud provider, and we need to set up a VPN tunnel between one of the cloud servers and our internal office network so that we can move/access data securely from an internal database server. In our current setup we have a hardware VPN tunnel which is setup on the firewalls of the two different networks (office and datacenter). However, if we set up a hardware VPN tunnel to the new cloud hosting provider, we'll incur a hefty monthly charge which I'd like to avoid. Is there a way to set up a software VPN tunnel between (HowTos)

I rely on the following script tunnel.sh written by others to keep a ssh tunnel alive:

#!/bin/bash export SSH_HOST=tim@server

if [ ! -f /tmp/.tunnel ] then echo "Creat SSH tunnel" ssh -f -D 9999 $SSH_HOST "if [ -f ~/.tunnel ]; then rm ~/.tunnel; fi; while [ !

I have the following configuration and want to establish a tunnel on a tunnel. I read already the following topic: How to put a tunnel in a tunnel?

My configuration:

Notebook --> Linux Server A --> Linux Server B

Notebook: Windows XP with putty Linux Server A and B: Ubuntu 10.10

I have a ssh connection with a tunnel from my notebook via putty to Server A. Now I want to establish a tunne

I have a remote network (A) that is connected to a head office (B) through a private network. Network A only has 1 PC that requires the connection, and this is into a terminal server at network B.

We want to save money by getting rid of the private network as only 1 PC now access it and it seems silly to pay ~$400 per month for something that is accessed by 1 PC.

To access a windows machine remotely I have to tunnel through a ubuntu server of mine. To setup the tunnel I have

ssh -l root -C -L 9999:windowsmachine:23389 myserver

Then I have to open another console and run

rdesktop -u user -password -f localhost:9999

How can I combine these in a single command or script?

Problem in using SSH tunnel 1 year 11 weeks ago

In a network, due to a reason that I don't know, I can't browse the web in Linux(In windows it has no problem). I get Error 301 moved permanently when I try to load a web page.

I decided to bypass this restriction by using SSH tunnel. I can connect to ssh server with the following command:

ssh user@server -D 1024

Problem is: even using ssh tunnel I still can't browse the web.

I've seen many examples of SSH tunnels on the nets, but I'm still having no luck with this.

I have another question thread running where i ask for help with tunneling traffic from one specific program (Help with rtorrent and openvpn (anonine)) but in this thread i want help with setting up a OpenVPN tunnel correctly.

I'm trying to get my OpenVPN setup to work at home.

Hello.
