I can access my TS fine through a RAS connection, but when
I try access it through a VPN over the internet, it times
out trying to attach. Do I need to open a port or
something on the firewall to allow RDP packets through?

Thank you.
 
Hi,

Terminal Services requires that TCP port 3389 be open, but if you are going
through a VPN you should be able to pass 3389 traffic inside the VPN and
not need to open 3389 along the way. If there is a router or firewall
between the tunnel endpoint and the terminal server, you will need to open
TCP 3389.

Thanks,
