terminal services should be treated as insecure traffic. there are various reasons, but among them 1. the encryption is breakable (search bugtraq for a discussion about that) and 2. you probably want a more secure authentication from external hosts than just letting a TS window pop up to anyone who connects to you. the discussion whether MS VPN is secure is better left unstarted... badenIT GmbH System Support Chris Meidinger Tullastrasse 70 79108 Freiburg -----Original Message----- From: David Y.

I need to run some program off the server and when I used just the VPN, it was terribly slow. The solution on paper is to run the program off Terminal Services and just let it pass through the VPN which could be faster, supposedly. Any experiences with this? Is Terminal Services in itself secure? I read there's some form of encryption also but is it comparable to VPN in a way? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
