Does anyone know if its possible to deploy to a server in a VPN using Octopus Deploy? If the tentacle is on the server in the VPN is there a way Octopus Deploy to connect/disconnect to a VPN?
Cheers
UPDATE
We think we've found a work around by:
Early tests seem to show this works!
Kudos to my colleague Rachel for coming up with it!

The Octopus Server will be secure by default, however you can enable certain advanced HTTP security headers, like HSTS if you desire. Learn about HTTP security headers.
Octopus Deploy is an automated deployment server that makes it easy to automate deployment of ASP.NET web applications, Java applications, NodeJS application and custom scripts to multiple environments.
The Octopus Server hosts an HTTP API and the Octopus Web Portal which you can configure to use standard TCP ports (80/443) or non-standard ports. Your Octopus Server can also be configured to accept inbound requests from Polling Tentacles over a custom TCP port, or using WebSockets.
A release in Octopus, is a snapshot of the packaged software, variables, and the deployment process. A release is deployed to the environments defined in the deployment process. Typically, releases are deployed to one environment and then promoted to the next environment when they are successful.
There's no way to do this at the moment short of establishing the VPN connection yourself and then triggering the Octopus deployment using Octo.exe, followed by disconnecting.
In future it would be nice to have support for opening a VPN connection within Octopus. Is your VPN session established using the Windows remote access server components (i.e., would a toolkit like http://dotras.codeplex.com/ be able to open the connection?) or is it through some custom software?
