Terminal Services in itself is not secure. The encryption algoritm may be weak, people have discovered a DoS & Mitm vulnerability; and tsgrinder allow people to brute force Terminal Service users... Running TS over VPN is the recommended way; it runs fine (and fast enough... the only traffic consists of screen information; no real data) A normal TS session requires about 18k to run fast (I know Citrix is faster, but it is more expensice too) Hope this helps ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Y.

Has anyone used Terminal Services over Microsoft's VPN server? 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? --------------------------------------------------------------------------
