The TS is on the inside and can connect to the DB. The remote locations are
outside and cannot. This is similar to the way web apps work. The web
server has access to resources that the remote client does not and acts as
the go-between. A TS performs the same role and is more secure than letting
the remote users have direct access to the DB.

Keeping in mind that the TS is serving a published application. Not a full
desktop. The remote user has permissions to run only the published app and
has no access to anything except what that app provides. If we did this
over the internet we would of course use a VPN for the TS session.
