My company wants me to setup an intranet

What is the purpose of the VPN?

For remote access?

Install SoftEther on the true cafe server and your set

If you don't want the complexity of the VPN you could go with TeamViewer or something similar.

It seems that way from your angle, but there will be a lot of wiring to do if the additional switches are not used. And by the, there are 26 devices in total, and it would have been 27 if I had not taken out one. Thanks for the input.

Never suggested not using "additional switches". I suggested they change their attitude on refusing to buy new hardware and forcing what you have on hand to be "good enough". New hardware is the way to go here. It's a business that as I see it depends on it's network to be fast and reliable. Using old hardware that may not be the best fit for this setup is the problem I was pointing out.

Didn't want to suggest you weren't capable, just that normally in this use case a company is far better off hiring a pro who does this day in and day out. I'm sure with enough time and effort, you can get this job done as well. Didn't mean to knock you in any way.

If you are referring to the computer, it's windows OS. If you are referring to the Uifi AP, I'm not sure of the version/OS. Thank you.

windows OS?

Microsoft has released quite a lot of "windows OS". Which particular version is running on the machine housing the NICs?

Ok...Yeah man. ...It's cool. For me i'm glad I'm getting the experience, because I will be starting classes for my CCNA in about two weeks or so. I'll keep at it and later on post you the end result God's willing. Peace.

The purpose of a VPN is so that my CEO can access base documents from home or simply off site.

OK, teamviewer, but doesn't the host on the other end will have to allow access so that that host can use the system remotely?

Windows Server 2016
