I have to call a web service on a 3rd party's server from our web app on our production web server. They require that the call is made over a VPN. The company housing our servers would charge for a 24-hour VPN to this 3rd party server to exist, so my boss has me looking into alternatives.
Is there a way to create/open this VPN connection in C# each time I need to call the web service but not have it always be open?

Even if the answer is no, what determines what traffic out of the web server uses the VPN connection and what traffic doesn't? Are calls to the one domain in the VPN settings the only calls that go through the VPN?

Thanks
