Hello, VSD works in two modes, plain text and SSL encrypted. Plain text uses port 1725 and SSL encrypted uses 1726. With plain text, yes anyone can connect and modify things, that is why it is documented to either firewall off port 1725 or disable it during install. Using SSL encrypted protocol, a client needs an SSL certfifcate before it will authenticate and accept connections.
