remote-access

My organization has a few servers that are being hosted by a provider and we limit remote access to a whitelist and deny access to any IPs not on the whitelist. We would like to find a hosted VPN service that we can connect to that would give us a known IP that we could add to our whitelist and gain access to the servers while on the road.

Does anyone know of any such services?

I don't think we can just setup the VPN built in to Windows Server since the servers are hosted. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
