I have some clients who have users who reside outside of the company's
network. The company is going to allow remote access through a VPN on the
server for access to the SQL Server database. I want to have my forms app
which will run on the client machine to automatically open the VPN when the
program starts and close it when the program ends. That way, the clients
doesn't have to set anything up and they don't have to worry about how the
data is accessed. Is it possible to this from a windows form app and if so
what operating systems would the client have to be running in order to do
this?

That would depend on what VPN software you are using. Some VPN client
installations add a "connection" that looks like a modem to the
operating system and is accessed as such.
