VSS with dedicated server

[vams ()]

Hi,
I have a dedicated windows server 2003, with an ISP. I wish to use this server as a test server and install Visual Source Safe on it. Most of my developers work from remote places and need to connect to the server and check-in and check-out the code using their internet connections. I've got the license for VSS and I've a firewall. Is this enough to set up my CVS with VSS. Do I need to set up a VPN?? Any sort of help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Vams

First of all, you should have a VSS license for each user of the system. You
should at least run under a VPN -- VSS requires file level access, so it
uses more than standard http ports and can therefore be a security risk
without the VPN. VSS is also very bandwidth-greedy. For that reason many VSS
users that need remote capabilities use a third party program. Here are some
to check into:

VssConnect (http://www.voxcode.com)
SourceOffSite (www.sourcegear.com)
Sekonden SourceWeb (http://sourceweb.sekonden.se/SekondenITAB.htm)
VSS.net (http://www.dmbcllc.com/products.htm)
