Re: Terminal Services over VPN

[Jaymz Ringler <jringler () nebrinfosecurity no-ip com>]

We have a client with 3 locations and a quite cumbersome custom
application for the DSL speeds they can afford.  In the main location
they have a TermServ machine in which the remote sites use for this
application.

The application was incredibly slow when trying to run it normally from
the database, but is almost not noticable through Term Serv and they
save big money on bandwidth. 

I don't worry about security since both locations are connecting to the
Terminal Server and email etc.  through Netscreen vpn boxes.  All logon
authentications and data  whether it's plain text or not, is protected
inside the 3des encrytion tunnel.  

Roaming laptops can also utilize the vpn encrytption by connecting to
the internet and then using a software provided vpn tunnel.  

The whole system works excellent.  I think any manufacturer's vpn
software or hardware would be fine.   the key is the vpn tunnels.
