I cannot recommend any software firewall that runs on a desktop computer.
Are there any software VPN server applications that run on a windows server without the server being at risk?  Or in a VM?
the server should firewalled (with firewall ideally on an edge device).  Windows Server's own RRAS is pretty good.  Obviously most *nix have ssh.
Is that a yes?  :-? ;)
Yes, most Windows Server 2003 versions come with RRAS (|Routing and remote access) that allows remote access to your network via PPTP tunnels or IPSEC tunnels (or dial-up etc with correct hardware).

Like all servers, firewall off unneeded ports though!

Using tunnels on the client may affect other connectivity while the tunnel is running for obvious reasons
Cheers!  :y

Zonealarm?

Yep.Zone alarm ..

I'm using for a long time never had problems..Even work happy with virus scanners..

Also I must note that I'm using zonealarm for protecting me from curious cats who got high access rights in the LAN ;D
