Aug 17, 2013 5:16 AM in response to iphone4_Ieby cpragman,If you look at your server logs, you'll likely notice many failed login attempts over the open VPN ports. Don't use simple passwords. Use a complicated VPN shared secret. Don't give root VPN access.
For additional security, you can turn on Server's "adaptive firewall" (afctl). This will watch for failed login attempts, and temporarily ban the incoming IP address that the attack originates from. This will make it really hard for people to run dictionary attacks against your server all day long.
