If i recall correctly, TS uses something like 128-bit encryption.
However, since I know nothing about the encryption method, nor do I
trust Microsoft's security reputation whatsoever, I tunnel my TS

it's a Windows server though, as I don't know of any free SSH servers
for Windows.

Cygwin [1] comes with OpenSSH, but I havenn't tried that myself, so I
can't tell how good it works.
