Read their AUP.


Also Windows 2K servers on which Exchange server sits needs RPC (Port 135) to function properly so although it can be protected it can t be actually "Closed".

"Would it be possible to prevent the attack by disabling the RPC service?

It is not practical to disable the RPC service on a Windows 2000 server. RPC is an integral part of the Operating System and many services will not function with RPC disabled."
THE AUP does allow VPN, they just do not support it!
