Yes we have a router.
The question came beause someone said he can get into the server in
about 10-15 minutes.
Currently no firewall or vpn
To keep this in perspective...
There are a lot of layers of security. One very important layer is physical
access control. Often servers are behind locked doors for this very reason -
limit physical access to the keyboard.
Another layer that encompasses almost all of the rest of security is what I
call logical access control. This would be userID/password combinations,
encryption, operating system hardening, network traffic control (firewall -
vpn), etc.
By offering a TS for access over the Internet you are eliminating one aspect
of control... physical access control. But you still have all the other
options available.
So... if this person who says he can "get in" in 15 minutes can "get in" by
sitting at the keyboard, he will be able to "get in" remotely too. If he
can't "get in" by sitting at the keyboard, he can't "get in" remotely
either. Test him! :)
