Hello.

I have a customer who is having all kinds of problems w/ their current VPN
connection. They're wondering if it would be acceptable to drop using the
VPN altogether and just open the necessary port(s) on their firewall to
allow Terminal Server connections. They do not need LAN access over the
internet, just terminal server connections.

My initial reaction was "you always use a VPN, that's the secure way of
doing things", but since the TS client uses an encrypted connection, doesn't
that generally give enough protection against sniffing?

Comments? Obviously, I'm not a security expert...

Thanks.
