    Please I have different variant to this question. 

    I have a Domain Controller on a network of less than 12users, the same server is currently hosting a database application for managing the company's operation, this application is actually a web application but is currently in use locally within the local head office network .

    I intend to make this application accessible from outside the network such that a few 2 or 3 staff can access the application from a remote location using their laptop, this is not a branch office network approach as I only want the users to be able to access the database application from their laptops while on the road .

    Please what is the best route to achieving this  ??

    Thanks.

    Hi Samuelson,

    Thanks for posting here.

    We have two ways could allow the users to access our site form external.

    1. Publishing your site to internet by using NAT or ISA/TMG product at our edge.
    2. Establishing VPN tunnel form external with inputting credentials.

    I’d prefer the second approach, with adding a RADIUS/NPS server we can define policy with specifying conditions(who which computer are allowed ) and authentication method:

    To get a better understanding on NPS/RADIUS with VPN service ,please refer to the  link below:
