    If connecting two sites then you would use the router/firewall at each
    site to create the tunnel. Your performance hit will vary depending on
    your connection speed and what you're doing via terminal services -
    but for the most part my experience has been very good.

    SSL VPN is a very easy way to go but I've recently began question it's
    security. If someone can perform a MITM attack on an SSL session, why
    not an SSL VPN session? I don't know...just wondering.
