Looks good, if you want to try something less basic, maybe try making it so it only accepts connection from localhost & other ip's while this functions enabled, could be implemented into server as the "Maintenance Break" portion of the server, and have like a "access_ip.txt" file with ip's to allow or even deny just a thought, anyways going to check this out myself, I'm looking at anything anyone has to share so I can learn vb6, I'd start coding something but I still don't know much lol anyways thanks for sharing.
