RabbitMQ on WindowsServer 2012 R2 crash on startup
I am trying to start RabbitMQ on a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine but it keeps crashing. This is what I see when running "rabbitmqctl status":
C:\Program Files (x86)\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.5.1\sbin>rabbitmqctl status
Status of node 'rabbit@MYMACHINENAME' ...
Error: unable to connect to node 'rabbit@MYMACHINENAME': nodedown
DIAGNOSTICS
===========
attempted to contact: ['rabbit@MYMACHINENAME']
rabbit@MYMACHINENAME:
* unable to connect to epmd (port 4369) on MYMACHINENAME: address (cannot connect to host/port)
current node details:
- node name: 'rabbitmq-cli-6880@MYMACHINENAME'
- home dir: C:\Users\myname
- cookie hash: L9D52tPzwbCgggPY6qPS3g==
C:\Program Files (x86)\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.5.1\sbin>
Here's what I see in the logs (after a long series of apparently successful "PROGRESS-REPORT" entries):

Any ideas for other directions / configuration / troubleshooting that I can follow?

The {badmatch, noport} error suggests that perhaps RabbitMQ was unable to access the EPMD port.
If you still want to use a VPN with RabbitMQ, be sure to open the ports required by RabbitMQ.
See What ports does RabbitMQ use? and read about inet_dist_listen_{min,max}
