      ZeroTier would be the logical choice, yes.

        Never hurts for me to confirm my logic on here. Thanks.

          Do they use Active Directory at all?

            Yes. Server 2012 Essentials (IIRC). Single physical server. It is a cheap Dell T320. Not a good setup but I don't know who sold it to them or did the install. Less than 10 users.

              I wish I could convince them to go lan-less and use nextcloud but they are using Quickbooks Elite??? or something of the sort. Its a step above the "Pro" I believe. They have a custom piece of software that ties MS Access to QB.

                Quickbooks, just shoot me now. Quickbooks itself is bad enough, but Intuit as a company is even worse. Guess it's fight the battle you have a chance of winning.

                  @travisdh1 I know. I have the hardest time convincing people to just try something else. I use Xero and love it. I also used Wave for a while to become familiar with it.

                    You could remove that. AD + VPN can be a huge pain.

                        No large files or graphics

                        This goes directly against how QuickBooks works.

                          I use my ERL at home with dynamic DNS service from afraid.org and a L2TP with IPSEC configuration.

                          I can connect to that natively from iOS, Windows, and Linux. I assume from Android and macOS also, but haven't tested.
