Is the secure mode needed if connecting through a VPN

Post by Mark B » Mon Apr 05, 2004 6:26 pm

Hello,

I was wondering if SOS's encrypted secure mode was necessary if communications between client and server were accomplished through a PPTP VPN connection, which is itself encrypted. Would using the SOS non-secure connection perform a bit better?

Any thoughts ... ?

Using the encrypted port is not really necessary if you are using a secure VPN connection. There really isn't much difference in performance between secure and unsecure, as the biggest bottleneck in SourceOffSite is the SourceSafe Automation component, but it will save you from having to setup and install user crypto keys.
