RE: RDP over the internet

[Dimitrios Hilton <dhilton () theitguy us>]

The RDP inside a VPN tunnel has also work well, especially for laptops that already have the VPN tunnel configured. So 
long as the VPN tunnel has enough throughput, the benefits of RDP speed and familiar TS desktop make many of my clients 
happy

Mario,  Don't leave port 3389 open on the Internet at all, the port is much too vulnerable.  If you need to perform 
remote administration, do this through a VPN tunnel or use a third party service such as gotomypc.

Good Luck,
Bill

Hi all I would like to know what are your opinions of using RDP over the internet on a Windows 2008 R2 server? Are 
there any major known exploits or vulnerabilities? How safe is the server with having port 3389 open to the internet.

Rgds,
Mario
