ics many mechanisms in a VPN but is not a VPN. A VPN extends a LAN, a Jump Box proxies to it. Proxying with user
As for the Jump boxes, Why make administration something that can be done from anywhere? Sure, those managed boxes might provide other services to the internet at large, like web service, but why open port 22 to the internet at large? Instead you can put all those port 22's behind the jump box allowing logon only from the jump box. Hopefully this provides better security.
I thought that was kind of the point. Proxy the management through a jump box.
Exactly.

Yup, that's where I was going with that. It has nothing to do with being LANless, and as Scott already said, everything to do with security.

LAN'less napkin design, something like this?

@travisdh1 Who/what is in charge of "controlling" all those users & their access?

ownCloud.

Or the System Admin who manages that server.
Edit: Ideally the oC Server would be integrated into some form of central authentication -- AD, AzureAD, or something.

I assumed the users will access more than oC even though the drawing doesn't show that?

Maybe not ideally. If that is the only service, use it as the authentication authority.

Ah, well that's different then.

Right. If you have more than a single server and/or service it'd be easier to manage with LDAP/AD/AzureAD.

I should've just labeled the server as "Services" instead of "OwnCloud"
