Last week I decided to use TeamViewer VPN to administer software on a server behind a firewall using RemoteDesktop. It was easy to configure to start-up with the system and make VPN available on the other side but now it fails to connect at the step shown below:

TeamViewer failing to connect

The remote machine is running Windows Server 2008 R2.

Is there a native way to circumvent the external firewall using a server role or feature to make Windows Server do the VPN work?

Do people have better / more reliable experiences with other products such as Hamachi?

The requirements are as follows:

  1. Start at remote system start-up time
  2. Make VPN connections to the remote machine possible
