Remote debugging with visual studio and WinDbg server

Is it possible to use WinDBG as a server (instead of Visual Studio Remote Debugger) and connect to it using Visual Studio?

No this is not possible. WinDbg and Visual Studio use different protocols for remote debugging that are not compatible.

I'm more familiar with Visual Studio's protocol which is RPC + COM based. I'm less familiar with WinDbg's but I believe it is lower protocol. Usually all you need to do is just open a TCP port for WinDbg.
