Re: Terminal Services over VPN

[Paul Farag <paul () farag ws>]

If i recall correctly, TS uses something like 128-bit encryption.   
However, since I know nothing about the encryption method, nor do I  
trust Microsoft's security reputation whatsoever, I tunnel my TS  
connections through SSH.  You'd have to use something like WinSSHD if  
it's a Windows server though, as I don't know of any free SSH servers  
for Windows.  My connection point to every network I work on is a Linux  
box from which I can SSH anywhere I want inside the network.  SSH is my  
best friend...until an exploit is found... =)
