The RAS Server

An RAS server is a Windows Server 2012 server with the Remote Access role services installed. This is the server that accepts VPN connections from VPN clients. The RAS server name or IP address must be resolvable as well as accessible through corporate firewalls, which could be by either having a network interface connected to the demilitarized zone (DMZ) or by providing the appropriate access rule on the firewall.
