I am watching some video guide on how to setup a VPN Server and he says you need two network cards (one internal, one external). I only have one right now, is there any way around this?

Edit: I am using a test environment where my domain is on windows 2008 R2 and now I want to test for another user to reach my domain on another network through VPN.

  • It completely depends on how you what to setup your network and VPN. There are several potentially useful situations where you could have a single network interface. Can you update your question to tell us what you are trying to accomplish with this VPN?

It might depend on the VPN server software you're using, but usually no, a VPN server can work with a single NIC, as long as you can make it accessible from outside your network through your firewall. This is certainly the case for Windows' RRAS.

OpenVPN server makes virtual interface with their own subnet, so you don't need two NICs.
