Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.

So I have a dedicated server . Now I need to add another server, but they do not support LAN connections between their servers ( yeah, cheap I know ). So, I need a reliable way to tunnel the two servers as if they were in LAN over the internet, they will be located in the same datacenter.

OS is Windows Server 2008 Web Edition.

Also, I need really low latency not hardcore over the top encryption.

Thanks.

OpenVPN is perfect for this. As far as setup work goes, it'll take a bit of research and futzing around to get working if you're not familiar with the technology. Once set up, though, either should be completely hands off.

The easiest way would be to install Unmanaged Hamachi VPN on each machine. I am talking about the free stand-alone version and NOT the web based Hamachi. Only works on Windows and Mac though. Also, for this to work, each machine needs outbound connections to the internet enabled (inbound not necessary).
