I remember, many moons ago, getting my first Iomega ZIP drive, the one that could read from and write to 100MB diskettes (if you're of the same vintage as me, then you'll also remember the revolutionary pass-through printer parallel port these drives used). I was in geek heaven, and I really did think that this would be the last storage device that I'd ever need. Over the past few years my storage needs have grown from megabytes to terabytes, and my Iomega ZIP drive has been long relegated to my personal tech museum. Also, nowadays we're not so laid back when it comes to storage, and aren't happy to have all our eggs in one basket.

On our server, running Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2, files are stored on a specific drive that staff change, amend & delete on a day to day basis. This is accessed any logging on to the Work Domain. For a couple of staff, they have direct access to this Server drive from home via a VPN connection set up on their laptop. For the Mac laptop, the person needs to dual boot into Windows to get this remote VPN access Can this exact same process be set up for MacOS, so as to not have to dual boot into Windows? Currently on the Macs, you can access the Server drive through the Work Domain in MacOS when in the office (not have to dual boot into Windows), so just want to go that step further remotely for the Mac via VPN, as for Windows.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately those links don't explain how to set up a VPN on MacOS. To set up the VPN on a Windows laptop, you add that computer name to the VPN group in Windows Server In Windows 10, in the list of wifi connections on the bottom right, one is the VPN connection.
You just click on that, click connect, enter your domain username & password & you are remotely connected to the Server drive, where shared files are stored. I want to do the the exact same thing on MacOS. If you are in the office, on MacOS you simply open FinderGoConnect To Serversmb://102.0.1.01.
