Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 Unleashed

The RRAS in SBS 2003 provides important security features to your network. It also provides remote access capabilities via VPN and dial-up. Configuring these services can be achieved by running the built-in wizards and further modified to add more advanced features.

This chapter focused on detailing the features of the RRAS, configuring it as a NAT/basic firewall and to accept incoming VPN and dial-up connections. Also, the VPN capabilities of SBS were described in depth with special attention on enhancing the security of your network. However, firewalls and VPNs are a vast subject, and only so much can be covered in one chapter. The reader is encouraged to further familiarize himself with other firewall and VPN options not covered in this book.
