The company I work for is small (6 employees) and we had a single office with a single static outward facing IP address. I would then whitelist that single IP address for things like AWS and client databases that we needed to connect to. With the whole office now working from home, if anyone needed to connect to something, they would VPN into the office network then be good to go.
Now the company owner has decided we all work well enough from home, that we are going to get rid of the office. But we still need to connect to several outside websites (some of which we don't directly control).
While I could get everyone's home IP address whitelisted in the short term, it would be a huge pain to deal with in the long term.
What I ideally need is some kind of virtual office network to VPN into and then use the IP address of that virtual network as the one being whitelisted. However I have no idea how to go about finding such a thing.
My ideas are either renting server space at a company like www.tierpoint.com, getting a static IP for just us and then setting up a VPN system to that server. Or finding a VPN company that can do the same for us (ideally this as it would be easier to let someone else handle setting everything up).
