Alfred,
Obviously I do not know what the end product of VAC2 will be,
but I have one concern at this point in time.
Every time a player starts CS:S [HL2.exe], a small file is generated, in
the format ~xxx.tmp starting from ~1a.tmp onwards) in C:\Documents and
Settings\UserNameHere\Local Settings\Temp and is 60kb in size.
This triggers a great deal of firewalls, because a totally new file with
a totally unique name is generated every time and wants to access the
internet.
I have currently some 100+ of these files which contain
"c:\steam3main\src\vac2\vac2\Release\vac2.pdb" inside, so I know it is
VAC2 generated.
When this file is generated and triggers the firewall, the game is then
minimised, this also generates the issues known to be caused by
ALT-TAB'ing (purple colours, black textures etc).
I personally am not going to turn my firewall off.
I was going to suggest one file, encrypted and re-written each time CS:S
started, but a changed file will just trigger the firewall anyway.

The ports cascade from 27014 at the moment, we will be adding an
explicit "-steamport" option for HL1 in the next update for HL1 (and
Source already supports "-steamport" ).

Just to confirm whats said below, does this impact running multiple
servers off the one host by any chance? Do they all try and 'bind' to
port 27014? Or are these offset ports from the game join port?
