Change virtual private network permissions for a user account
You can use VPN to connect to Windows Server 2012 Essentials and access all your resources that are stored on the server. This is especially useful if you have a client computer that is set up with network accounts that can be used to connect to a hosted Windows Server 2012 Essentials through a VPN connection. All the newly created user accounts on the hosted Windows Server 2012 Essentials must use VPN to log in to the client computer for the first time.
