This post shows you how you can install a VPN Server on Step-by-Step. It shows you how you can easily setup a VPN server for a small environment or for a hosted server scenario. This blog post covers how you can use Windows Server VPN. This is definitely not a guide for an enterprise deployment, if you are thinking about a enterprise deployment you should definitely have a look at Direct Access.
I already did similar blog posts for Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2. You can simply follow this step by step guide: Install the Windows Server VPN Role First install the “ Remote Access” via Server Manager or Windows PowerShell. Select the “ DirectAccess and VPN (RAS)” role services and click next. On the next steps just use the default settings. After that you can have a look at the overview screen and install the role. After the features are installed, which can take a while to finish you see the link for the Getting Started Wizard. Click on “ Open the Getting Started Wizard“.

Configure Windows Server VPN This opens a new wizard which will help you to configure the server. On the first screen select “ Deploy VPN only“. This opens the Routing and Remote Access Management Console Right click on the Server name and click on “ Configure and Enable Routing and Remote Access“.
On the new wizard select “ Custom configuration“. Select “ VPN Access“. After you have click finish you can now start the Routing and Remote Access service. If you have an other firewall between the internet and your Windows Server you have to open the following Firewall port sand forward them to your Windows Server: For PPTP: 1723 TCP and Protocol 47 GRE (also known as PPTP Pass-through) For L2TP over IPSEC: 1701 TCP and 500 UDP For SSTP: 443 TCP After the installation Users have to be enabled for Remote Access to connect to your VPN Server. On a standalone server this can be done in the Computer Management MMC, in a domain environment this can be done in the user properties of an Active Directory user.
If you don’t have a DHCP Server in your environment you have to add a static IP address pool. This is often needed if you have a single server hosted at a service provider. In the properties of your VPN server you can click on the IPv4 tab and enable and configure the “Static address pool”. You now have to add a IP address from the same subnet as your static address pool to the network interface of your server, so users can access the server.
I hope this helps you to setup a VPN server in a small environment, lab or hosted server. Hi, I have followed your step by step guide, but unfortunately failed to complete it. When I press the “Start Service” button, a message about initialization pops up with a turning clock icon, but it takes forever — I have waited for over an hour before killing the console and restarting the server. When restarted, the console shows that the service is enabled and configured, but the interfaces are “unreachable” and the “Unreachability Reason” (when right-click on them) is that “The ROuting and Remote Access service is not running on the specified computer”. Although the service is indeed running in the Services console.
What I noticed there is that the “Remote Access Management Service” is in “Starting” status but it never starts. All this on a Windows 2016 VPS, standalone (no domain). Thanks, Alex.
