Plus, you had to use port forwarding, not always simple with a Cisco router. Now all that has changed.


As a side note, for SBS Users, you do not need port 80 open for SBS to function. Hackers use this port even more than 3389. If major sites are not even able to defend against code injection on this port, you probably can't either. This means after you close it when you type the site name: remote.SBSserver.com, it won't work. You would have to write it out completely: https://remote.SBSserver.com. Not really a big deal. You can also use an URL shortner to save time. I.e. bit.ly/sbsserver
