Explanation (?): |
The routing and remote access service allows you to set up dial-up and virtual private network (VPN) features from your Windows computer. This means that you can allow people to either dial-in and use internet or intranet resources, or enter through a VPN over the Internet so that the remote computer can use the Internet as if it was on the network of the VPN server. These are mainly used on corporate networks to bypass security protocols implemented through firewalls, but this service can be used by home users as well. If you use these features I would suggest setting this service to automatic, and if you don't use them then I suggest disabling this service. |

"Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out... and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel.... And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for 'the universal brotherhood of man' - with his mouth". --Mark Twain
