Windows Server vs Router VPN
Hi
I need an advice. I got a Cisco 891 router and a Windows Server 2008, who is essentialy a file server.
Should i put the VPN server on my Cisco router or on my Windows Server. The advantages of my windows server is that the VPN users are aleready in the server. But is it less secure ?
Thanks

What about L2TP and SSTP ? I heard they are more secure and works with windows server 2008.

However, Cisco VPN (using IPSec) requires you to use a VPN Client on each PC. Though you can use the free ShrewSoft VPN, it's still a 3rd-party application needed on each PC. Usually it works much better than PPTP, and is more secure anyway.
