@Tim_G said in Installing VPN access on Windows Server 2016:

I don't remember experiencing or hearing about an MS RRAS server that was compromised or hacked do to the fault of the MS Software directly. It's always been because of dirt poor implementation and security oversights... connecting a Windows server directly to the internet, .....

If you consider exposing the server as a mistake leading to compromise, that's really the point that we were making 🙂

I think that he skips mentioning that PPP, the Point to Point Protocol is not a VPN protocol. Even in the 1990s it was not considered that as it is not virtually private, as a VPN is. It's useful to have mentioned here and the Network+ might require it and it is certainly good to know and understand, but he lists it along with VPN protocols and I didn't hear him ever point out that it isn't a VPN Protocol even though it was the first one mentioned in the VPN Protocol list.

@tonyshowoff Msgpack looks interesting. I've got an upcoming project where I need some very small footprint (low power 8 bit uC), some of the grid nodes probably even need to send data via SMS for example (160 bytes per message). Msgpack with MQTT... Need to do some reading 😉
