Accessing Windows Server 2008R2 from internet using Remote Desktop

Hi All,

I've just successfully setup ADSL2+ internet connection in my customer's remote site and I need to support and monitor one custom database application in that Windows Server 2008R2 Std. instance, I wonder what is the best way to achieve this without using 3rd party appliance or hardware ?

Shall I just install Terminal Server Gateway (TSG) role in that server using self sign SSL certificate ? (access to that server using IP address).

Any kind of comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks to All for the reply.

From what I understand is that TSG can securely publish the RDP port SSL secured using port 443. But I don't know if this is the way to go for server monitoring from remote location with minimal hardware investment (no Cisco hardware or 3rd party implementation).
