Re: VPN Security

Hi,

So, I opened ports: 1701, 1723(TCP), 500(UDP) on my gateway router and redirected to ISA server (SBS2k3). VPN works fine but now I want to ask how secure this is, given that I use strong passwords. I don't have CA so the prefered method is PPTP.

a strong password should be enough for most basic scenarios
For more security you can use PPTP with certificates (PEAP).
