Windows RRAS VPN configuration when server is behind NAT

By -
The following configuration changes have to be done when the Windows VPN server (Remote Access and Routing Service) is behind NAT (ie, server has a private IP).

It shows ACE.OLEDB.12.0, 15.0, and 16.0. If you don't have these, run the Access 2016 runtime installer from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50040
