Hi, Few things here.
1. Apple native remote client ("Apple Remote Desktop" ARD) is very good. We use
it remotely connect to machines and servers over a VPN.
The key thing is to have a VPN setup to secure your traffic.
You can also use VNC protocol.
So one remote client (home/Mac) === vpn ===> one Mac (on the LAN)
2. Windows Server has an option TSE (Terminal Server) similar to Citrix which
allow to run your software in a window "Session". The windows session runs on
the Terminal and you can use RDP (Microsoft Remote Desktop ie. Remote Desktop
Protocol) to control that session remotely. So effectively your application (4D
Client) runs on the LAN and it is as fast as if you were on the LAN. The
windows server can run many Terminal Sessions simultaneously. And also, you
should use this over a VPN.
So x remote client (home/Mac or Windows) === vpn ===> x Windows
Terminal Session on 1 machine Windows server (on the LAN)
The VPN is the thing which will make things secure...
Me too I wish Apple did support something like TSE, but I am afraid it is not
on their radar...
