      Never hurts for me to confirm my logic on here. Thanks.

        Do they use Active Directory at all?

          Yes. Server 2012 Essentials (IIRC). Single physical server. It is a cheap Dell T320. Not a good setup but I don't know who sold it to them or did the install. Less than 10 users.

            I wish I could convince them to go lan-less and use nextcloud but they are using Quickbooks Elite??? or something of the sort. Its a step above the "Pro" I believe. They have a custom piece of software that ties MS Access to QB.

              Quickbooks, just shoot me now. Quickbooks itself is bad enough, but Intuit as a company is even worse. Guess it's fight the battle you have a chance of winning.

                @travisdh1 I know. I have the hardest time convincing people to just try something else. I use Xero and love it. I also used Wave for a while to become familiar with it.

                  You could remove that. AD + VPN can be a huge pain.

                      No large files or graphics

                      This goes directly against how QuickBooks works.

                        I use my ERL at home with dynamic DNS service from afraid.org and a L2TP with IPSEC configuration.

                        I can connect to that natively from iOS, Windows, and Linux. I assume from Android and macOS also, but haven't tested.
